Pride Of India - Extra Long Indian Premium White Basmati Rice, 5 Pound (2.26 Kilo) RECOLSABLE JUTE (BURLAP) - Naturally Aromatic, Aged, Flavorful, Slender, Non Sticky Grains

I really love this rice. I have bought two of the smaller containers in succession and now this is my second large bag. The flavor is wonderful nutty and a great great texture. I have a rice maker, but I have never used it with this rice, I enjoy rinsing the rice after soaking it for a few minutes and then melting some butter and a heavy pan and sautéing the rice grains in the butter, then adding the water or other liquid of your choice like stock, bringing it to a boil and letting it boil until the level of the liquid is at the top of the rice. Then I cover it with the lid for 15 minutes and fluff it with a fork and it is just so delicious. I’m a lover of Mediterranean food and I find that this rice really is a compliment to those kinds of meals I recommend this rice.

Quite pleased with this purchase. These are more of a bold nutty flavor and well separating grains. Extra long as a true basmati should be. Good value. These were very fresh. They cooked up totally normal in time and right in line with a very nice quality basmati. Everything about this product was as a basmati should be. The only thing that I would say about it that was different is the flavor is a bit warmer a little bit bolder, and slightly more nutty than others I’ve had. It’s actually very nice. I will buy it again.

The best rice , for many years I always ordered the same kind .

This is the worst quality basmati rice I have ever purchased in my life, and that is something considering I have eaten rice all my life. Every time I cook this rice, the aroma is slightly off and the rice goes stale in almost a day. In fact the rice appears almost yellow in the transparent container. At first I thought the refrigerator in our apartment was bad. Then we moved to a new place that is just fine and this rice still goes stale in no time. The taste has never been great either. Unfortunately I missed my return window within days or I would have returned it. I will return to buying the brand that I always like. Please avoid this basmati brand. I would have given ZERO stars, if I could.

I have gotten this a few times and it is the same quality each delivery. Easy to prepare. I rinse this first. I then add new water and let soak for at least 15 mins. then rinse again. I do that several times. The process does make the rice less sticky which I prefer. I do not like all the starch on rice. The flavor is good. Never found any objects in container. Seems fresh and clean each purchase.

When I first discovered this brand of Basmati rice, I was so happy. Tender after being cooked, and very flavorful. HOWEVER, the second 10# bag was a total disaster. There was no flavor, and although the grain would swell, the rice remained firm....kind of like styrofoam. And the flavor...? It really had no flavor, except when opening my mouth a slight taste of 'mustiness' crossed my tongue? I looked, the bag was sealed when I opened it, and there was not insects in the bag....and there was no wetness anywhere. I store my rice in air tight glass jars when I open a 10# bag, so it wasn't my storage problem. I don't know where this musty flavor came from....but I'm throwing the entire bag in the trash. This is sad. The wasted money I can deal with, but the wasted rice is much harder to deal with.

OMG. As a lifelong rice lover, I wanted to try an actual Indian grown basmati. The grains are thinner than, an American style rice, so reduce your cooking time by a few minutes. This is a premium grade rice, as it should be, at this price point. Few, if any broken grains with a uniform grain size. I would also recommend rinsing this rice in cold water and use a bamboo steamer. I also use a parchment liner, inside the steamer. Set your timer. I’m old school, no electric rice cookers for me. Once cooked fluff the 3/4” to 1” long cooked grains Bentley with a fork and dug in.

Came in a jar though

Except for the packaging, this is a wonderful product. The packaging does not allow for sealing the product.

Love this basmati rice. Always comes out perfect and fluffy and tastes great.

Very nice rice, if you are looking for a long grain one is perfect choice!

Great value

just as I opened the package the color was realy not nice and no free return did not taste yet and I don t think I will much cheaper at grocery store really not good there's a taste of earthworm to it
