Just 2 stars based on its length of 4.5 mm, which, however, elongates to nearly twice the size on cooking. Other than that, this Pusa 1121 Sella Basmati rice is the same as its more pricey 5 and 4 star rated rice family. It is parboiled to preserve nutrition and taste. Each sella basmati rice grain embodies the essence of Himalayan Doon Valley. Use it plain, use it for exquisitely elaborate dishes or for sweet concoctions. You can well afford it too.
