We LOVE rice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so I get super picky about the rice I eat. Every single brand of ready rice I've tried has been terrible. It's always so sticky and mush when you pull it out of the microwave. It's never fluffy and it always has this weird taste. Not this kind at all. When you pour it out of the bowl it's easy to fluff with a fork and is not sticky. It also doesn't have a terrible aftertaste either. Then only reason I gave it four stars is because I want them to make bigger portions. I hate that I have to purchase multiple bags to feed my family of five. It would be nice if they came out with a family pack. Other than that if you're a Mom with a full time job and constantly being on the go like me, this is perfect for that quick weeknight dinner side. You can even make it the main dish as fried rice! Usually I don't use anything but leftover rice for that dish but this works well!

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Bens Origibal Ready Rice Basmati - Family Size. It is so easy to cook. I save time from preparing and cooking it. I love how the rice taste too, it is even better to pair it with buttered chicken.

Delish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some nights, it great to have something easy to make for dinner. All you need to do is break up the rice in the punch, tear about two inches to vent the bag and microwave it for 2 minutes and then you have completely cooked, great tasting rice to add to any dish. Love it!

So delicious!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rice was so delicious and so quick to make! I always burn rice when I try to make it the original way. These rice packets take out the hard work. Very convenient and quick. I will continue to pick these up for dinners and lunches.

Tasty and quick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This family size basmati ready rice from Ben's Original is good! The size is perfect - it gave us 3 good sized portions to go with our meal. The instructions were easy to follow; you literally just tear to vent, microwave for 2 minutes, and it's done. The rice was a good texture, not mushy or too soft. My husband said it looked and felt like rice at an Indian restaurant. I'm so pleased this came in basmati, we do quite a bit of Indian food and prefer to make basmati rice to go with it. This pouch will make meal prep even simpler!

Tried and true

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Uncle Ben's rice has always been a staple in my household, long before these new easy heat and serve pouches came about. Honestly, I don't particularly love the flavor of this rice on its own but I always add to it to spice it up. If I want just rice I add a little salt, pepper and butter. Otherwise I use this rice in any recipe that calls for it. Rice cakes, stuffed peppers and cabbage, fried rice, rice bowls, soups etc. I like the family size pouch as I can portion it out to use for different meals. I believe the convenience is my favorite part. I probably ate from this one family size pouch for at least a week. This size pouch would absolutely benefit larger families. I plan to try a broccoli, cheese, rice and chicken casserole with this rice soon.

Not as good as dry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Uncle Ben and I have for years. I was excited to try their ready rice but this was honestly kind of a disappointment. The taste is really off but I still love the brand and maybe it would have been different if I tried a different rice but this was awful. Their dry rice is amazing and I will still use it to this day but this was a major disappointment.

So easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even without a microwave these rice pouches are incredibly easy to use and great for when you're in a pinch. I used this within hours of getting it! Perfect for those last minute meals or nights when you're short on time!

Family favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a constant staple on our grocery list. Both myself and my partner work so we are always looking for quick meals we can put together that is healthy and easy to make. The basmati rice is our favorite but we have tried almost every flavor. The family size feeds our family of two for two meals and it keeps great as leftovers.

Family Size is Helpful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really appreciate the family size package of this because my time is very limited with 3 kids and work. Basmati can be tricky to make sometimes and takes a little bit of time if you want to make it perfect and not have it stick together. I love that I can just heat this up. Dinner is so much quicker and the kids love it.
