Types of Rice Available

Different dishes call for different grains, so it helps to know the main options before you order. Choosing the right rice improves both texture and flavour, and saves you from wasting product.

Basmati Rice

Long, slender basmati grains cook up fluffy and separate, which is why they are a first choice for biryani, pilaf and rice-based banquets. Basmati is available in large bags, including 20kg sizes that suit busy restaurants and catering.

Everyday and Medium Grain Rice

Everyday and medium grain varieties suit daily cooking, sides, stuffed dishes and puddings. They are a practical choice when you need to feed many people without compromising on quality.

Bulk Bags for Restaurants and Families

Rice is available in sizes from 5kg packs up to 20kg bags, along with bundle deals on multiple bags. Restaurants, kebab shops, caterers and large families can keep a steady supply without frequent top-ups.

Buying the larger sizes also cuts down on packaging waste compared with many small packs. It is an easy way to simplify your ordering and keep your costs under control.

Keeping Your Rice Fresh

Store rice in a cool, dry place, and transfer opened bags to an airtight container to protect it from moisture and pests. Good storage helps preserve the aroma and cooking quality of the grain.

Properly stored, rice stays usable for a long time, which makes bulk buying even more practical. Always rotate your stock so that older bags are used first.

Orders ship from our Melbourne warehouse, and we run promotions every week, often including rice bundles and discounted bags. Checking the promotions page before you order is a simple way to save.
