Royal White Basmati Rice 2-Pack of 2 Lbs

I've loved Royal basmati rice forever. It is truly the most flavourful, fragrant, and restaurant-quality rice I can find. I always bought it in 20-pound bags. I have a gargantuan glass jar with vacuum-sealed lid that holds 20 pounds, so that worked out well. Moreover, the bags it came in were burlap and could be re-purposed. And the price was around $20. But this was not the same experience. For about the same money, I got only 15 pounds in a plastic bag that is useless except to add to the Plastic Himalayan Mountains humanity has created for itself. Really not happy about this. Looking to try other brands to see if I can find anything better.

It’s a lot of rice for the money. Tastes great and cooks up perfectly in a rice cooker.

Best basmati rice for the money. If you haven’t had basmati rice, you should buy some. It has a wonderful, nutty flavor and cooks up into separate grains, not a big sticky pile, like some rice.

This organic basmanti rice had the top rating so I wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. I love basmanti rice!

Good quality, good price

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.

I’ve been purchasing this rice for the last year or so. I won’t be purchasing anymore other brand again. It’s comes in a well sealed bag and has handles for carrying. The rice cooks up nicely. It’s fluffy and tasted good. I would recommend trying.

Great taste and cooks well
