It has the longest grains I have cooked. And the taste is well worth it. I will order it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive Versatility and Durability! *by C***N on October 4, 2023* I recently purchased a bag of Daawat rice, and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. This bag of rice has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I'm thrilled to share my positive review. First and foremost, the quality of the rice is exceptional. The grains are uniform in size, and they cook up perfectly fluffy and tender every time. Whether I'm making a simple bowl of steamed rice or a complex rice dish, this rice never fails to deliver a wonderful texture and taste. The packaging of the rice is also worth mentioning.

It's the ideal base for a wide variety of dishes, from stir-fries to pilafs to sushi. I've used it in countless recipes, and it always adds a delicious and satisfying element to my meals. Plus, it's a staple in my pantry because it has a long shelf life, so I never have to worry about it going bad. Not that it lasts long enough around here to even go bad, L.O.L. Another aspect I appreciate is the brand's commitment to quality and sustainability. Daawat is known for sourcing their rice responsibly, and it's evident that they take environmental concerns seriously. This makes me feel good about choosing their product. Save da turtles, y'all! In conclusion, I can wholeheartedly recommend Daawat rice to anyone in search of a top-notch rice product. Its quality, versatility, and sustainable practices make it a standout choice in the competitive world of rice. I'm incredibly satisfied with my purchase and will continue to be a loyal customer of Daawat for years to come. ## Frequently Bought Together - Daawat Ultima Extra Long Grain Basmati Rice, 2-Years Aged, 10lbs - Authentic Royal - Naturally Aged Long Grain Indian White Basmati Rice - 15 lbs - Tilda Pure Basmati Rice, Premium Aromatic and Authentic Rice, Large Resealable Bag, 10-Pound Bag,White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/42249507-daawat-ultima-basmati-rice-authentic-extra-long-grain-white-rice](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/42249507-daawat-ultima-basmati-rice-authentic-extra-long-grain-white-rice) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
