Old Crop 1509 refers to Pusa 1509 Basmati rice harvested in a previous season, typically stored under controlled conditions to maintain quality. This variety is known for its extra-long slender grains, natural aroma, and excellent elongation after cooking. Being an old crop, the rice has lower moisture content, which results in better cooking performance, fluffier texture, and enhanced flavor compared to new crop rice. Old crop 1509 is widely preferred by exporters, wholesalers, and premium rice brands due to its consistent grain quality, non-sticky nature, and higher yield after cooking. It is suitable for biryanis, pulao, and other premium rice dishes, making it a popular choice in both domestic and international markets.
