Royal - Naturally Aged Authentic Long Grain Indian White Basmati Rice - 15 lbs

El producto es muy Caro

Excellent scent, taste and lovely looking long grains. Very nice. The texture and sturdiness is just right to complement any cuisine; but, imo, it is most especially well sited for Indian cuisine.

This rice smells good and taste great I have a mini rice cooker and use a small amount of minced garlic (teaspoon) and olive oil and some salt and it comes out perfect.

This basmati rice is exactly what you'd expect - authentic long grain with good aroma and texture when cooked. Most importantly, the bag arrived clean with no bugs or contaminants, which can be an issue with some bulk rice products. The 15 lb size is convenient and lasts a long time. Cooks up fluffy and separates well. If you're looking for reliable basmati rice at a reasonable price, this delivers. Highly recommended.

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.
