HAS Rice Pakistan: Your Trusted Supplier of Premium Pakistani Rice
Premium Supply of 1121 Steam Basmati Rice to Beirut, Lebanon
Extra-Long Grain Basmati for High-End Retail and Foodservice
HAS Rice Pakistan supplies 1121 Steam Basmati Rice to Lebanon through Beirut port, offering a premium rice solution for importers, distributors, and foodservice professionals. This variety is widely recognized for its extra-long grain length, natural aroma, and superior cooking performance.
Unlike parboiled rice, steam basmati is processed using a controlled steaming method that preserves the grain’s natural characteristics while improving its cooking behavior. The result is a rice that elongates significantly after cooking, remains separate, and delivers a refined texture suitable for premium dishes.
Processed at our Karachi facility using advanced sortex and grading systems, each shipment is prepared to meet the expectations of Lebanon’s quality-focused rice buyers.
