Manufacturer Contact Information Specialist Foods, Unit 701 UK Review: Lovely aromatic basmati rice - I’ve tried many basmati rice brands over the years, but this Tropical Sun Golden Sella Basmati Rice (5kg) has genuinely impressed me, especially considering the price for such a large bag. First thing I noticed when cooking it is the aroma. It has that classic basmati fragrance but with a slightly mild nutty tone that becomes more noticeable once the rice is cooked. The grains cook up long, separate, and fluffy, which is exactly what you want from good basmati rice. It doesn’t turn sticky or clumpy, even if you make a bigger batch. The Golden Sella (parboiled) style also seems to help the grains hold their shape well. I’ve used it for several dishes already from simple rice with curry to Indian dishes and it performs consistently every time. It absorbs flavours nicely without becoming mushy. Another big positive is the value for money. A 5kg bag is ideal for households that cook rice regularly. The quality feels comparable to some more expensive basmati brands I’ve bought before, so getting this quantity at the current price feels like a really good deal. Packaging is practical also. Overall: Great flavour, pleasant aroma, fluffy texture, and excellent value for a large bag. If you enjoy basmati rice with a slightly nutty character and cook rice often, this is definitely worth trying. Rating: 5/5 – Tasty, reliable basmati rice at a very reasonable price Review: A very good Bargin - Great quality basmati rice! The grains cook fluffy and separate with a lovely aroma. The 20kg bag is excellent value and perfect for stocking up. Very happy with this purchase.” ## Features - 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀 π‹πŽππ† π†π‘π€πˆπ π†πŽπ‹πƒπ„π 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 ππ€π’πŒπ€π“πˆ: Premium parboiled basmati rice with extra long grains that cook up fluffy and separate, perfect for biryani, pilaf, curries, pulao and steamed rice dishes. - ππ€π“π”π‘π€π‹π‹π˜ π€π‘πŽπŒπ€π“πˆπ‚ & πƒπ„π‹πˆπ‚π€π“π„ π…π‹π€π•πŽπ”π‘: Sourced for its authentic fragrance and taste a favourite for traditional South Asian, Middle Eastern and African cuisines. - 𝐍𝐎𝐍-π’π“πˆπ‚πŠπ˜, π‚πŽππ’πˆπ’π“π„ππ“ 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒: Golden Sella rice holds its texture, stays light and non sticky after cooking - ideal for restaurant style biryani and family meals. - π„π€π’π˜ π“πŽ π‚πŽπŽπŠ & π•π„π‘π’π€π“πˆπ‹π„: Simply rinse and cook using stovetop, rice cooker or instant pot great for pulao, tahdig, jollof rice, curries, fried rice or as a healthy side dish. - 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 π“π‘πŽππˆπ‚π€π‹ 𝐒𝐔𝐍 ππ”π€π‹πˆπ“π˜: 5kg bulk pack for excellent value suitable for vegetarians and perfect for home kitchens, restaurants, catering or meal prep. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07JBM2P2T | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,091 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 8 in Basmati Rice | | Brand | Tropical Sun | | Brand Name | Tropical Sun | | Coin Variety 1 | Basmati | | Container Type | Bag | | Country of Origin | India | | Cuisine | African, Indian | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 771 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05029788164235 | | Item Form | Bag | | Item Length Description | Long | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 5.07 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 5 Kilograms | | Item package quantity | 1 | | Item weight | 5 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Specialist Foods | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Specialist Foods, Unit 701 UK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Protein | 7.2 g | | Serving Range | 40-50 | | Size | 5 kg (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | suitable_for_vegetarians | | Unit Count | 5000.0 gram | | Unit count | 5000.0 gram | | Vitamins And Minerals | 0.01 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tropical Sun - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 5 Kilograms - **Number of items:** 1 - **Unit count:** 5000.0 gram ## Images ![Tropical Sun Golden Sella Basmati Rice 5kg - Extra Long Grain Parboiled Rice - Naturally Aromatic - Non-Sticky & Fluffy Rice for Biryani, Pilaf, Curries & Everyday Cooking(Pack of 1). - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bG+mWE+aL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it gluten free?** A: No it’s not gluten free but it is very light and fluffy **Q: Has the packaging changed cos what I received is a completely different package in a sac?** A: Hi, the one I bought back in April came as in the product picture not in a Sac.
