Yellow rice

Love this rice

Good product

We bought this rice on our last visit to Sam’s. We often eat rice with chicken, fish and even tacos. The price and the large container caught our eye. We typically buy the Vigo brand from the grocery store. We have also tried many other brands. This brand far exceeds all the others not only in flavor but also in texture. It smells very nice as it cooks. The result is fluffy well seasoned rice without feeling like it has too much salt. We also like that we can make a small amount for two people. We will continue to purchase this rice.

This product is fantastic! I am originally from Tampa, Florida. That means I grew up eating yellow rice in places like The Columbia , El Carmello, etc., and this rice is comparable. We use it on an almost constant basis; with chicken, fish, and beef, and it always comes out delicious. If you follow the directions, your rice will be delicious, but if you add some capers and a little tomato paste, it really kicks the flavor into the stratosphere. Also, you can put it in a slow cooker with some chicken breasts and/or thighs, and some chicken broth for a spectacularly easy and delicious chicken and yellow rice. As an added bonus, Par Excellence Yellow Rice is gluten free, as well as soy and MSG free. This is really important to us since my wife is allergic to wheat, soy, and MSG. She can enjoy the flavor without any fear of an allergic reaction. This makes dinner time so much easier, and DELICIOUS!

It has been over a year since I purchased my previous container of this rice. The rice we recently purchased to replenish our stock is starkly different in taste....as in it now tastes just like plain parboiled rice, that happens to look yellow. It's almost as if there is no saffron in it any more. We have been getting this rice for years and it always tasted a particular way. We thought maybe we purchased a bad container, so we threw it away, but again with a new container same results. I know 2021 was a wild year for the supply chain....maybe it will get better again?

I bought this recently, opened to use yesterday, and upon peeling of the protective cover, I found a THIN PIECE OF WIRE SEVERAL INCHES LONG in it !! Contacted the Company IMMEDIATELY and as of 24 hours later, NO RESPONSE ! Imagine if I hadn't seen it and gone ahead and prepared....someone could have choked and possibly died from ingesting it !!! The flavor of this product is excellent but SAFETY??????

Just discovered this at the club. I see that reviews for it date back 5 years, but pretty sure it is a new item for our club. Took the advice from previous review to SHAKE THE JUG before using, and then, even though it wasn't on the directions did a 1:1 rice mix to water ratio in our rice cooker. Came out great! Mixed a tablespoon of butter in at the end (since it was mentioned on stovetop directions on jug) and even better. Both husband and I practically inhaled it...a nice change to mix up meals. :)
