What is 1121 raw basmati rice?
1121 raw basmati rice is Pusa 1121 basmati in its purest milled form — with no steam treatment, no parboiling. The rice is dehusked, sortex graded, and gently polished. The result is pure ivory white rice with the strongest natural basmati aroma of all three grades. This is the preferred choice for premium biryani, festive cooking, and gourmet retail.
What Is 1121 Raw Basmati Rice? Why Is It the Best For Biryani?
Ask any serious biryani chef what rice they use — and most will say raw basmati. Not steam, not sella. Raw. Because raw basmati has the strongest, most authentic basmati aroma — and aroma is what makes biryani truly great.
Raw means pure. No steam, no parboiling, no heat treatment. The paddy is dried, aged in our silos for 18-24 months, then carefully dehusked, sortex graded, and gently polished. That is it. The grain comes out pure ivory white with all its natural fragrance fully intact. Open the pack and the smell hits you immediately.
At Lababdar Foods, our 1121 raw basmati rice is sourced from GI-certified Punjab farmers, aged properly, and milled to under 2% broken grains. We sell direct — so whether you buy 1 kg or 10 tonnes, you get the freshest milled raw basmati at direct mill prices.

Aged 18-24 Months — Certified Pure
Long aging builds deep aroma. FSSAI certified, 200+ pesticide tests cleared before packing.
Raw vs Steam vs Sella — Why Raw Has the Strongest Aroma
Basmati aroma comes from a natural compound called 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP). This builds up slowly as paddy ages. When we steam the paddy before milling, some of this aroma escapes with the steam. When we fully parboil it (sella process), even more aroma is reduced. Raw milling preserves 100% of the 2-AP aroma — which is why raw basmati smells the strongest.
This is not a small difference. When you open a pack of raw aged 1121 basmati next to steam or sella basmati — the difference in aroma is immediately obvious. The raw rice smells intensely fragrant. This is the aroma that makes biryani truly authentic. That is why every serious biryani cook specifies raw aged basmati.
