The rest of the world are coming to understand what the African and Asian communities have known for some time - that Tropical Sun Golden Sella Rice is the grain of choice for one-pot rice dishes such as jollof, biryani and waakye.
But What Makes Tropical Sun Golden Sella So Special? Aren’t You Just Biased?
There is a reason why the likes of Notorious Foodie, King Cook Daily and London’s Fallow Restaurant have chosen Tropical Sun Golden Sella over other brands.
Tropical Sun Golden Sella is superior - and here is why:
1. Production Cycle: From Seed to Grain
Unlike the other big Golden Sella brands, who source rice from a range of suppliers, Tropical Sun has full control of the entire production cycle: from seed to grain. This enables us to ensure that every process in the cycle is optimised to produce the best Golden Sella. No corners cut!
2. Single Source Supply
Tropical Sun Golden Sella is from a single source. We have to keep the exact location top secret, but this is why we can offer a higher quality grain with greater consistency than other big brands who buy from multiple suppliers. They might make more profit than we do, but they cannot match our quality!
3. Continuous Drying
Once rice is soaked and steamed in the parboiling stage, it contains a lot of moisture. Before it can be milled and packaged, the rice must be dried very evenly, otherwise the grains can crack, break, or cook inconsistently.
There are two main methods of drying parboiled rice:
- Batch drying - a cheaper, stop-start option used by other brands (even the big ones), that produces inconsistent results.
- Continuous drying - a more expensive, smooth and precise method used by Tropical Sun that results in higher quality rice.
In short - our refined drying process produces a better matured rice product!
And so, if anyone tries to tell you that all Golden Sella is made equal, now you can educate them on the FACTS!
Ok, Tropical Sun is the Best Golden Sella, but I’m Perfectly Happy with My Regular Rice Grain. Why Should I Switch to Golden Sella?
There are many good reasons to switch to Golden Sella, but here are the most common ones:
- Golden Sella Is almost impossible to overcook because it has been parboiled before milling, which results in nice, firm grains. It doesn’t turn mushy or break apart. It holds its texture even when slightly overcooked, which makes it perfect for catering-sized batches and one-pot rice dishes such as jollof, biryani and waakye.
- It absorbs flavours exceptionally well as the parboiling process changes the internal structure of the grain, making it great at taking on spices, stock, oils and sauces, resulting in deliciously flavourful rice.
