Explore Grains
Sona Masoori Rice is a widely popular, premium medium-grain white rice variety that serves as a dietary staple across South Asian and international health food export markets. Grown in the sun-drenched, river-fed agricultural plains of southern India, this lightweight aromatic variety is a natural hybrid of the renowned “Sona” and “Masoori” rice strains. Aba Impex sources its Sona Masoori through strict agricultural networks that prioritize low-pesticide and traditional cultivation methodologies. Our processing plants process the crop using advanced computerized milling, multi-pass destoning, and optical sorting configurations. This ensure the removal of black tips, chalky grains, and field contaminants while retaining the grain’s natural nutrient core. Known for its pleasant aroma, easy digestibility, and low starch accumulation, our Sona Masoori Rice cooks into a fluffy, non-sticky presentation, making it an ideal choice for healthy family nutrition and everyday commercial catering.
Types
- Raw Sona Masoori Rice (Aged 12–24 months for maximum fluffiness)
- Steam Sona Masoori Rice (Hydro-thermally processed for cooking stability)
- Parboiled Sona Masoori Rice (Enhanced nutrient retention configuration)
