The "1121 Steam Basmati Rice" is a type of long-grain aromatic rice that has been cultivated for centuries in the Indian subcontinent. It is distinguished by its extra-long and slender grains, which elongate to at least twice their original size during cooking. The rice exhibits a uniquely soft and fluffy texture after cooking. Its exceptional taste, superior aroma, and distinct flavor set the 1121 Steam Basmati rice from India apart from other varieties of aromatic long-grain rice.

Basmati Rice is cultivated in various regions across India, including Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttarakhand, and Western Uttar Pradesh.
