How is Traditional different from 1121?

Traditional is the original landrace; 1121 is an evolved long-grain cultivar bred for grain length and yield. Traditional has a finer raw grain, more intense aroma and elongates more on cooking, but yields less and costs more — it is the gourmet, heritage choice.

Why is Traditional more expensive?

Low farm yield and long ageing. It is positioned as a premium gourmet grain, so volumes are smaller and prices sit at the top of the basmati range.

Which form is most common?

Raw, aged. Traditional is bought for aroma and elongation, both of which Raw milling preserves best. Sella exists for premium long-shelf retail.

Which markets buy Traditional?

Premium UK, EU and North-American diaspora retail, Gulf gift-pack and gourmet retail, and fine-dining HoReCa.
