Key Features & Benefits

Superior Flavor Profile While 1121 and 1509 are known for length, 1401 is known for taste. It retains a higher concentration of the natural compounds that give Basmati its signature sweet, nutty flavor, making it a favorite for traditional rice eaters.
High Expansion Ratio Despite a slightly shorter raw grain length (~7.7mm) compared to 1121, the 1401 variety expands significantly upon cooking.2 The grains swell to over 2.5 times their original size, remaining distinct and non-sticky.
Aromatic Excellence 1401 carries a stronger, more pleasing natural fragrance than many high-yield hybrid varieties. It brings the “classic” Basmati smell back to modern cooking.
Culinary Resilience Available in Steam and Sella (Parboiled) variants, this rice withstands extended cooking times well. It remains firm and fluffy even when kept warm in buffet chaffing dishes, making it ideal for catering.
