1509 Basmati Rice — Long Grain Excellence at a Smarter Price
Long grain basmati with a lovely aroma and excellent cooking results — at a price that makes business sense. The smart choice for hotels, large retailers, and value-conscious buyers.
What is 1509 basmati rice?
1509 basmati rice (Pusa 1509) is a popular premium long grain basmati variety with a grain length of up to 7.8mm raw. It has a good natural aroma, cooks to long separate grains, and is priced 15-20% lower than 1121 basmati. This makes it the favourite choice for hotels, large catering operations, and value retail brands who need excellent quality without the 1121 premium price.
What Is 1509 Basmati Rice and Why Do Hotels Love It?
Not every buyer needs to pay the 1121 premium price. 1509 basmati rice gives you long grain quality, good natural aroma, and consistent cooking results — at a price that makes more sense for everyday hotel supply and large-scale retail.
The grain of 1509 basmati is slightly shorter than 1121 — 7.8mm versus 8.4mm — but still significantly longer than regular non-basmati rice. After cooking, it stays separate and fluffy with a lovely fragrance. For buffet presentations and daily hotel cooking, the difference from 1121 is barely visible to most guests.
At Lababdar Foods, we source 1509 paddy from Punjab's best farms, age it properly, and mill it in-house. Whether you need raw white, steam, or golden sella — we have all three grades of 1509 available in every pack size from 1 kg to 50 kg bulk sacks.

How Is 1509 Basmati Different From 1121 Basmati?
1509 basmati and 1121 basmati are both premium basmati varieties grown in Punjab. The main differences are: 1509 has a slightly shorter grain (7.8mm vs 8.4mm), a slightly milder aroma, and a lower price. The cooking result — long, separate, fluffy grains — is very similar between the two.
For most hotel guests eating biryani at a buffet, the difference between 1509 and 1121 is nearly impossible to detect visually. The taste and texture are both excellent. This is exactly why hotel F&B managers choose 1509 — they serve premium long grain basmati to their guests while keeping their food cost lower. It is not a compromise — it is a smart commercial choice.

Many hotel chefs come to us asking whether they should use 1121 or 1509 for their daily cooking. My answer is always: if you are serving biryani to wedding guests or fine dining guests — use 1121. If you are running a daily buffet where you cook 100 kg a day — use 1509. Your guests will be happy, and your food cost manager will be happier.
1509 is genuinely underrated. The grain length is excellent, the aroma is good, and the consistency is high. It is not a "budget" rice — it is a smart commercial choice. The major Indian hotel chains, the large institutional caterers, and the value-retail brands — they all know this.
