1509 Steam Basmati Rice — High Yield, Great Value, Smart Choice
Steam-treated 1509 basmati — harder grain, higher yield, more nutrition. Ivory white colour. The best-value steam basmati for hotels, institutions, and high-volume catering.
What is 1509 steam basmati rice?
1509 steam basmati rice is Pusa 1509 basmati that has been gently steam treated before milling. The steam hardens the grain, pushes extra nutrition inside, and raises the cooking yield to 90-95%. Colour stays ivory white. This is the most economical premium basmati for hotels, caterers, and institutions that need long grain quality at the best per-kg cost.
What Is 1509 Steam Basmati Rice? Best Choice for Bulk Cooking?
When you run a large kitchen — hotel, hospital, college mess, or catering company — the two things that matter most are quality and cost. 1509 steam basmati rice gives you both. Long grain, non-sticky, ivory white — with a 90-95% cooking yield and a price that is lower than 1121 steam basmati.
The steam treatment makes the 1509 grain harder and stronger than raw 1509. Less breakage in commercial pots. Higher cooking yield. The grain holds up even after being reheated at a buffet — it stays separate and looks fresh. For institutional catering, this is the rice you need.
Lababdar Foods mills 1509 steam basmati directly at our Punjab plant. We calibrate our steam process to keep the ivory white colour intact — the same white appearance as raw basmati. Your retail buyers and hotel guests get the clean white look they expect.
Why 1509 Steam Basmati Is the Best Value Hotel Rice
Best Price-to-Quality Ratio
1509 steam basmati gives premium long grain quality at the most economical price per kg in the basmati range.
90-95% Cooking Yield
More cooked rice from each kg than raw basmati. In large kitchens cooking 100+ kg daily, this is real money saved.
Harder Grain — No Breakage
Steam treatment strengthens the grain. Even in large commercial cooking pots, grains stay whole and separate.
Ivory White — Premium Appearance
Unlike golden sella which is amber, steam basmati keeps the clean white colour that hotel guests expect.
More Nutrition Than Plain White
The steam process locks B-vitamins and minerals inside the grain — measurably more nutritious than plain white rice.
Still a Long Grain Rice
7.8mm grain that grows long after cooking. Looks and feels premium on the plate.
Why 1509 Steam Basmati Is the Commercial Kitchen's Best Friend
Think about what a hotel kitchen needs from its daily rice: it has to look good, cook consistently, not break in large pots, and reheat well for the lunch and dinner rush. 1509 steam basmati checks every one of these boxes — and it does it at the best price in the premium basmati range.
The steam treatment gelatinises the starch inside the grain, making it much harder and more resilient. A raw basmati grain will crack if you squeeze it. A steam basmati grain will not. This hardness means even when you cook 100 kg in a commercial pot and stir it with a large ladle, the grains stay whole. The result on the plate always looks consistent and professional.
Cooking Benefits of 1509 Steam Basmati
90-95% cooking yield — significantly more than raw 1509
Long grains even after cooking — not short or broken
Non-sticky and separate — ideal for buffet presentation
Grain stays firm even after reheating — perfect for hotel service
