Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is Sona Masoori different from basmati?
It is a medium grain rather than a long one, lighter to eat and only faintly aromatic — and it lands at a materially lower price point, which is why it works as a premium everyday retail line.
What pack sizes sell best?
5 kg and 10 kg for supermarket shelves, 25 kg for restaurant supply. We pack all four sizes and can mix them in one container.
