Basmati Rice (8 x 3kg)

Basmati rice is a slender, aromatic long-grain rice supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also known as basmati chawal, it cooks into dry, separate grains that lengthen as they cook. That suits biryani, pilau and plain steamed rice served in volume. Buying wholesale keeps a commercial kitchen stocked with one consistent rice for every service.

Key Features of Wholesale Basmati Rice

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: A bulk pack suits restaurants, takeaways and caterers that cook rice every day, so you reorder less often and keep the pass running.
• Trade Pricing: Buying at wholesale price brings your cost per portion down compared with small retail bags, which is cost-effective for high-volume menus.
• Fragrant, Slender Grain: Basmati has a distinctive aroma and delicate flavour that works with whole spices, saffron, fried onions and herbs without overpowering them.
• Separate, Fluffy Texture: Rinsed and cooked correctly, the grains stay apart rather than clumping. This helps with portion control, plating and holding rice for service.
• One Rice, Many Formats: Use it for dine-in plates, takeaway boxes, buffet trays and event catering without changing your recipe.
• Storage & Handling: Keep the bulk box in a cool, dry place, decant into a lidded airtight container and reseal after opening. Store it away from damp and strong odours.
