Royal Basmati Rice - high quality and tasty!

Royal Basmati stays whole and doesn’t get mushy. It has a great taste. Jasmine rice used to be my fave but I’m hooked on this one. Will never buy regular rice again. It’s worth the slight difference in price! You can use it in many recipes, not just Mediterranean dishes. I made Mexican rice with it.

Pleasant Experience

I am familiar with the brand and package, so I was not surprised. Still, it was nice to know Sam's continued to carry it.

Always fresh, great brand and price

Basmati Rice: The Queen of Grains I've always had a soft spot for basmati rice. Its long, slender grains and delicate aroma make it a culinary delight. Every mouthful is a sensory experience. Here's why I'm a fan: * Flavor: Basmati has a distinct nutty flavor that complements a variety of dishes. It's subtle yet noticeable, adding depth to any meal. * Texture: The grains are light and fluffy, cooking up to a perfect tenderness. They don't clump together, ensuring each bite is a satisfying experience. * Versatility: Basmati rice is incredibly versatile. It's a staple in Indian cuisine, but it can also be enjoyed in pilafs, rice pudding, and even sushi. * Health Benefits: Basmati rice is a good source of fiber and essential nutrients. It also has a lower glycemic index compared to other types of rice, making it a healthier option. Whether I'm enjoying a fragrant biryani or a simple stir-fry, basmati rice always elevates the dish. It's more than just a grain; it's a culinary companion that enhances every meal.

It's all good!

I buy this rice every so often, it's lot of it ,but we like rice. I take this big bag rice break it down to 2 cups per bag and vacuum it into flat packs so it stacks well after all rice is bagged I put it in bottom of our freezer. I like the Balsamic rice best. Stores well like this.

Maybe my New Favorite or Co-favorite?

I have been eating Jasmine rice for over 30 years. My Sam’s was temporarily out of Jasmine rice and I had been wanting to try Basmati rice so I got a sack. It is so good especially If you like rice that doesn’t stick together. It makes great fried rice. Wash it very thoroughly to get the starch out. I use a rice cooker and use less water than they call for. I use 1-3/4 cups water to 1-cup rice.

BUGS in Royal Basmati Rice! see pictures!

We have purchased Royal Basmati Rice many times before but this last time purchased in May 2020 had bugs in it. We tried to remove some but there's too many. I took out 3, then 8, then 15 bugs.... and I keep finding bugs! I've heard putting the rice under hot sun will get the bugs out so I'm trying that. I'm not sure returning to get a different one is worth since it's high chance that the whole batch most likely will be bug infested also! Emailed Sams Club customer service. Maybe I should share the pictures to Sams Clubs account on Instagram and Facebook!

extremely disappointed

I have been been buying this rice for many many years from Sam's Club. It takes me a while, even with having company for dinner, to get through 25 pounds of rice. Before, it great from the first cup to the last cup 25 pounds, over a year or two later. However the last 25 pound bag I got ended up with weevils in it. It was less than half used.. I thought. . well guess I had it too long, (though the bag said best when used by August 15, 2017) I bought a brand new 20 pound bag.. I've had rice out of it I think twice. Last night I got ready to get some rice and saw it was full of weevils, even tough the bag says Best when used by November 15, 2019. The plastic bag was twisted and secured with a twist tie and the burlap bad was zipped all the say up. If I can find my receipt I am taking it returning it.
