Review: Quick Hack to make it better. - I added a trick to making the rice look & taste better. After the microwave, I rolled the top down and put a clip(or clothes pin) on it, and set it aside as I fixed other items. Afterwards it looked like the rice at a buffet. Not to bad. I also added about a teaspoon of soy sauce and gently mixed it up. Not perfect, but good enough.
Review: as expected - Tastes as expected, good shelf life.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you think this would look good on an office desk?**
A: Maybe a Wisconsin Maple desk is a good choice. Not too decorative. Add blue accessories to compliment the orange bag.

**Q: Question for manufacturer: When will you make enough of the coconut jasmine rice so it can be ordered regularly?**
A: They said no, and that they don't care about you. You want coconut Jasmine rice? Make it yourself. Their words, not mine. I'm sorry.       /s

**Q: whole grain medley -- what is salt/sodium content per package.  Are there preservatives, etc., in it?**
A: Sodium is 690mg per serving, two servings per pouch, each about 1 cup.  When I make dishes such as szechuan pork I omit the salt to compensate for the salt in this rice.  Ingredients are:  water, whole grain parboiled brown rice, whole grain red rice, wild rice, canola and/or sunflower oil, hydrolyzed soy/corn/wheat protein, lower sodium sea salt, yeast extract, sugar, vegetables (garlic, onion, parsley, celery, spinach), salt, autolyzed yeast extract, yeast, spices, natural flavoring and smoke flavoring.

**Q: How many people will 1 package serve?**
A: The package states that it is one serving.  If you are using it as a side dish, it will serve two people.
