Yummy but slightly dry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always not been that good at making white rice, and I don't make it enough to eat to invest in a rice maker. Ben's original basmati ready rice is really good, on its own it's slightly dry, but adding a little butter and salt or a nice stew or sauce on top makes it great. I've already gotten more packages and will continue to use this rice for my meals.

Delicious and easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Basmati rice is the best I have had in the quick prepare category. Only 90 seconds in microwave and it's ready to be served. Amazingly smooth and buttery, absorbs spices and seasoning very well. Goes great with any meal of the day. I will be picking this up every week with my weekly groceries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love rice and make it almost daily . Sometimes I need it for a quick lunch when working from home and wanted to try this out due to how easy and quick it is to prepare . 10/10 taste great and is ready in under 2 minutes. Simple clean meal for me and this will be a staple in my kitchen now .

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.

SO GOOD!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During the week my partner and I are often too busy to cook from scratch and these Basmati Rice packages are SO GOOD. We mixed ours with snap peas, premade lemongrass tofu, and peanut sauce and the results were so good. The rice is so fluffy, flavorful, and easy to make. To me, this is so worth the convenience when we're in the middle of a busy life. Will definitely buy this again.

Yummy and easy side option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family loves this rice! The family size is a great option, but usually we need 2 bags for my family of 4 (as a side dish). We love that it is easy to heat and most of all, yummy! I recommend this to any busy family!

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.

Bland

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I tried the Ben's Original Ready Rice, Coconut Jasmine variety. As for the 90 second microwave in the pouch, it was a simple prep. Just squeeze the pouch, tear a 2 inch length on the dotted line and place in the microwave. The pouch has two cool touch zones to remove the hot pouch from the microwave which worked great, and is a feature I have not seen on other microwave products. The rice was perfectly cooked. There also is a skillet option as well which we did not try. We both thought the coconut flavor was minimal at best. I personally did not like the sweetness of the rice, however my husband thought it was acceptably sweet. There is 5g sugar in a 1 cup serving. We served this with curry chicken and noticed this to be a bland side dish. Having made my own coconut rice, this pales in comparison. I personally would not buy this product.

Good for a quick meal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Ben's original easy rice basmati family size bag and it came in handy when I needed a quick meal solution. Only took 2 minutes to heat up in the microwave. The rice wasn't clumpy. It had an unappealing aroma to it but I'm sure it's just due to it being precooked in a pouch. I made honey garlic shrimp and the sauce made the rice have a better flavor and more appealing to eat. I would only use this product if I was mixing it into a dish with other ingredients. I wouldn't eat it plain.
