Royal Basmati Rice, 15-Pound Bag

El producto es muy Caro

Ok, many of ya'll had me freaking out that I bought a 15 lb bag of plastic pieces. I gave the bag a sniff test, and couldnt pick up any aroma. Doesn't basmati rice emanate a luscious aroma? So I looked up other brands (well known) and saw similar comments about the rice not having an aroma. Then I decided that the only way I would know is just to cook some. First I added a little to a plain pan and proceeded to "toast" it on my gas top stove. I figured if there were plastic bits, I would see it, smell it right? Nothing unusual to be noted. Threw that out, and took fresh rice to add to my rice cooker (rinsed well first). I made according to my machines directions. As it cooked I could smell the aroma that I expected. When it was done, the pieces were perfect. Not sticky, totally fluffy. No gumminess. Tasted as it should. Then I wanted to look over the plastic bag within the burlap sack. In order to pull it out I had to pour out some rice. Glad I did this because once in a bowl (2 quart size), I put my nose to it and could smell the rice just fine. There's that aroma! After I pulled out the plastic bag with remainder of rice, I looked it over for holes, bugs, and debris. No bugs, no debris. I did see some tiny holes. Very small, and I could tell that they were/are most likely puncture marks from the rice. Not many, but enough for me to double bag it with another plastic bag I had on hand. Then I slid it back into the burlap bag and put back what I took out. Really, no problems. I had this at 4 stars, but once I really worked with it and looked it over, I can say that I am pleased. Very happy that the rice is in a plastic bag and not just in burlap. I would consider this again depending on price. I was able to get a 15lb bag for $20 (on sale). I can get 1lb bags at local $Tree for 1.25 per lb, so I didnt really save any buying this.. but it saved me a trip.

The large bag is also a great value if you cook rice regularly, and the packaging helps keep it fresh.

Always a classic! This is our go to brand for rice, specifically basmati rice. It's long grain but not extra long. It's flavorful but not too perfume like. That's why we prefer this brand. It's kind of a mild flavor so we can use it for all kinds of food. A milder less perfumed flavor makes this rice more universal in application. It cooks like any other rice. Amazon has great prices too. Our local stores increased the price quite a bit on Royal Basmati so Amazon is the way to go.

I’ve been using this rice for weeknight meals and meal prep, and it’s been really consistent. The grains cook up fluffy and separate, not sticky, which I prefer especially when serving it with saucy dishes. It holds its texture well even when making larger batches. The flavor is mild and clean, so it pairs easily with different types of meals without overpowering anything. I also noticed it absorbs seasoning nicely. I usually give it a quick rinse before cooking, and that seems to help the texture even more. The 15 lb bag is a good size if you cook rice often it lasts a while and is convenient to have on hand. Overall: dependable quality and great texture for everyday use.
