The difference between this and the everyday basmati in the same department is ageing, and it is visible on the plate: aged grain has lost moisture, so it absorbs less water, elongates to roughly twice its raw length and stays separate through the layering and steaming that biryani requires.

Printing a roast date rather than only a best-before is the mark of a roaster who expects you to care, and it matters: coffee is best roughly seven to twenty-one days after roasting and noticeably flat past six weeks, so a best-before months away tells you nothing.
Full details →Who the Fortune Biryani Special Premium Basmati Rice 5kg is for
Buy it if: Anyone cooking biryani or pulao where grain separation is visible and matters.
Avoid it if: Everyday cooking -- the everyday grade in this department costs less and is adequate.
Who the Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters Vienna Dark Roast Whole Beans 500g is for
Buy it if: Anyone with a grinder who will use 500 g within about six weeks of the roast date.
Avoid it if: Anyone without a grinder -- most of what you are paying for is lost in pre-ground coffee.
