I bought this rice for the first time via online. 8 got very sick having diarrhea, stomach cramps and headaches. i didn't know this as the source my illness. that had stopped when I was using a different brand of rice. I buy different brands of rice then 2 weeks later I cooked basmati again this time I only ate it with fresh baked salmon. the diarrhea, stomach cramps and headaches came back that I recalled was exactly the same as the last time I had basmati rice. so now I am returning this bag so Sam's can check if this rice I got is real basmati or not and what kind of chemicals in it seems very toxic. I am not sure what long term effects it would have in me I hope none. the rice once cooked would turn into very porous and light with a very strong odor. possibly a fake rice. I have eaten all kinds of rice some store brand names without any problems.

Good rice packed with chemical smelling trash

The rating is for Sams packing and shipping. The rice itself is very good and usually arrives packed with non-fragrant bubble wrap. This time, someone packed the rice with trash from the warehouse. This trash with strong chemical smell ruined the food item. Please train the persons working in the shipping area. I don't believe that this is the new "green" policy of recycling of waste packaging for shipping instead of using the usual packing materials like bubble wraps. I have to spend extra time and money to order from the local club.

bland and boring

this company has consistency problems. a 20lbs nov'2019 packed sack from cost co had zero fragrance, lacked hint of almond husk flavor and a starchy chew. my guess is this batch (left) was domestic usa grown and not actually imported from india where the authentic (right) stuff is grown. don't get me wrong, the rice i got was fresh and good quality, but if you are looking for real basmati, i would not trust this brand anymore.

Best rice!

My favorite brand of rice! Basmati is the best variety, although sometimes I get jasmine. But I found out this brand has the best value, it's like a dollar per pound. Totally worth it in my opinion, considering it's a very high quality rice, and delicious!

Great rice!

Opening this bag a rice was wonderful. The fragrance re-inforced the label on the bag stating it was from a new harvest. Rice has a long shelf life if kept in a dry and pest free environment. The rice came in a plastic bag inside a very cute burlap sack which had a zipper and handles. I will definitely re-purpose the bag!

What's Not to Love?

Been purchasing this product for years but initially from Sam's Food Club. When the Sam's Clubs were closed in Milwaukee, I thought I would be out of this item. But...lucky for us, it is on walmart.com. Yeah! Love this rice. We boil for 11 minutes and drain. Optionally add butter and salt or any kind of veggies. It is light and very tasty. Easy to re-heat without compromising quality or flavor.

Good Quality Long Grain Basmati

This is very good quality rice in this bag. I have a large rice container into which I store the contents. The surviving bag is made of jute (gunny sack) so I use it for shopping. It even has a zipper on top. This spring I learned you can grow vegetables in gunny sacks so I will try that this year. Online container bags are EXPENSIVE. The only negative I have is their website has different prices for the same bag! The local Walmart store always offers the bag for just under $20. for 20 pounds.

I loved this.

Best rice I have ever had. Just recently tasted outside my home and had to purchase it.
