1509 Steam Basmati Rice — BRC Certified Manufacturer, Karnal, India

About 1509 Steam Basmati Rice
1509 is a cross-bred Basmati variety developed for higher field yield while maintaining the long-grain, aromatic characteristics that define premium Basmati. The grain averages 7.5–7.8mm raw and elongates significantly on cooking. For buyers seeking a cost-effective Basmati that still delivers the long grain and fragrance their customers expect, 1509 Steam is one of the most competitive options on the market.
Steam processing preserves the natural aroma and produces a clean white grain ideal for retail packing, restaurant supply, and food manufacturing. The slightly shorter grain compared to 1121 is imperceptible to most consumers, while the price advantage over 1121 can be significant — making 1509 Steam popular for high-volume retail SKUs and food service contracts where cost control matters.
Our 1509 Steam Basmati is sourced from pesticide-free farmers in Haryana and tested to EU MRL standards on every batch. With tightening EU regulations on pesticide residues in Basmati — specifically for Tricyclazole and other fungicides — pesticide-free sourcing and EU-compliant testing are now essential for European importers. Every BABJEEXPORTS shipment comes with a full lab report.
