 BASMATI RICE
PAKISTAN is best known for its BASMATI RICE world over. It is the finest rice from Pakistan whatever the brand name is. 
This rice is long grain with a slender kernel. The grains are separate, light and fluffy when cooked, and mostly used for recipes such as biryani, which require rice of a distinct shape and texture.
Basmati, the king of rice, is held in the highest regard in all over the world. Among all the other varieties of rice, none have the distinctive long grains or the subtle aroma for which this grain is considered so special. This also justifies the “premium” which this rice gets against all other rice of the world.
Pakistan is the producer of the world’s finest long grained aromatic basmati rice. this rice can be obtained in double jute/Hussein bags/PP Bags in different weights & consumer packs.
   It takes birth in the most fertile valleys and plains of Pakistan. It is harvested by hand with delicate care, aged to perfection and then processed. The result is an extra long, pearly white, delicate grain with an irresistible aroma and delectable taste bringing alive an age of Nawabs and Emperors, glittering courts and legendary chefs.
The name basmati originated from a Sanskrit word "BASH", which means smell. This rice has special features, which make it naturally long grain fragrant and delicious in taste.
The legend says that this rice was meant to be consumed by maharajas (kings), maharanis (queens), princes and royal families. This unique rice is just one crop a year, grown only in northern India and Pakistan, the region known as old Punjab - the land of five rivers originating from Himalayas.

 BASMATI RICE 385
Basmati Rice 385 is dry and separate when cooked, resulting in long, thin grains, since the long grain increases only in length when cooked.
1121 BASMATI RICE 
It is another type of Basmati rice. Its grain is longer than Super Kernel Basmati. It is very famous in Middle East.
     
BROWN RICE
Brown Rice is the least processed form of rice, as the kernels of rice have had only the hull removed. 
The light brown colour of brown rice is caused by the presence of bran layers which are rich in minerals and vitamins, especially the B-complex group. With a natural aroma and flavour similar to that of roasted nuts or popcorn, it is chewier than white rice, and slightly more nutritious, but takes longer to cook. Brown rice may be eaten as it is or milled into regular-milled white rice.
PARBOILED RICE
Parboiled Rice is rough rice that has gone through a steam-pressure process before milling. It is soaked, steamed, dried, and then milled to remove the outer hull. This procedure gelatinizes the starch in the grain, and is adopted at the mill in order to harden the grain, resulting in less breakage, thus ensuring a firmer, more separate grain. Parboiled rice is favoured by consumers and chefs who desire extra fluffy and separate cooked rice.

LONG GRAIN IRRI 6 WHITE RICE
It is normally known as long grain white rice having more thickness than Basmati. It is the inferior quality in all Non Basmati rice and is cheaper than other kinds. 
KS82 RICE
This rice is a new yield. It looks almost same as IRRI6 but better in cooking.

It is cheaper than Basmati rice but a bit more expensive than IRRI6.
