Home Taste Golden Sella Basmati Rice 10kg – What It Is
Golden Sella rice is a parboiled form of basmati — rice is partially boiled while still in husk, then dried and milled. This process drives nutrients from the bran into the grain, retains more nutrition than regular white rice, and results in a firm, non-sticky grain with a light golden colour.

Cooking Instructions (Basic Method)
-
Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear — this removes excess starch and helps grains stay separate.
-
Use roughly 1 cup rice : 1.5–1.75 cups water (or adjust per recipe). Because Golden Sella is parboiled, it cooks more reliably than raw basmati.
-
Bring water to boil, add rice, stir once, then reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook about 12–15 minutes, or until water absorbed.
-
Remove from heat, allow to stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.
Golden Sella cooks up fluffy, separate-grained, and firm — ideal for jollof, biryani, or steamed rice served with sauce or stew.
