Sharbati rice is a well known non-basmati rice variety valued for its light aroma, smooth texture, and everyday cooking use. This sharbati rice variety has a shorter, rounder grain than long grain basmati, and it cooks soft with a slight stickiness, which makes it a common choice for khichdi, plain rice, and regional meals across many Indian households.
This rice is processed as raw, steam, sella, and golden sella to suit different buyer needs, from small retail packs to large bulk orders. Each batch goes through basic quality checks for grain size, color, and moisture before it is packed and sent to wholesalers, distributors, and retail buyers.
Sharbati Rice Variety
Sharbati Raw Rice
Milled straight from paddy without steaming, giving a natural white grain used widely for daily home cooking.
Sharbati Steam Rice
Parboiled with light steam treatment, which firms up the grain and reduces breakage during milling and cooking.
Sharbati Sella Rice
Fully parboiled before milling, giving firmer grains with a light golden tint and longer storage life.
Sharbati Golden Sella Rice
Goes through extended parboiling for a deeper golden shade, preferred in bulk catering and institutional orders.
