Call For Price

Experience the authentic taste of Southern India with Quantelio’s Sona Masoori Rice. A premium hybrid of the Sona and Masoori grain varieties, this rice is celebrated globally for its unique combination of nutritional value and versatility. Unlike the long, slender grains of Basmati, Sona Masoori features a plump, medium grain that is incredibly lightweight, aromatic, and easy to digest.

It is often widely regarded as the “Dietier’s Choice” due to its lower calorie count and reduced starch content compared to standard white rice, making it an excellent staple for health-conscious families.

The Quantelio Difference: Sourced from the Source

At Quantelio, we believe authentic flavor begins with the soil. Our Sona Masoori is sourced directly from the nutrient-rich Tungabhadra and Krishna river belts. We age our paddy for a minimum of 12 months to reduce moisture naturally, ensuring that every grain cooks perfectly without becoming mushy.

By utilizing advanced Sortex cleaning technology, we guarantee that every sack is free from stones, husk, and broken grains, delivering a pristine product ready for your kitchen.
