Great rice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this Royal Basmati rice. It cooked great and was very enjoyable for myself and my family. My kids who are picky eaters enjoyed it too. I would definitely purchase this product again! I would love to try other royal authentic basmati rice products too. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family

Our new go-to rice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was our first time trying Basmati Stove Top Rice, and we have a new fave! We enjoyed the taste and fluffiness of the rice. It was not sticky or mushy. It was finer and cooked up nicer than other rice yet still very easy to prepare. We were completely satisfied and would highly recommend to others. We will purchase this again for sure!

Love It!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Royal Authentic Basmati Stove Top rice is amazing! It is such a versatile food to go with any lunch or dinner. My family loved it as a side with various Indian sauce-rich main courses. It fluffs up beautifully. Sauce clings perfectly to the long grains of rice. Super convenient with stove top preparation. Satisfaction guaranteed! I am definitely keeping this on-hand in my pantry and recommending it to friends and family.

restaurant quality rice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my new favorite Basmati rice. It was easy to prepare. The rice smelled and tasted incredible. The texture was perfect, just as if it was served in a restaurant. I would recommend Royal Authentic Basmati Rice to all of my friends and family and would absolutely purchase it again.

Mealtime is super easy and tasty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Royal Authentic Basmati rice! It was so easy to cook and my rice came out perfect every time. I used it in both plain rice meats as well as traditional Carribean meals and every single time it cooked perfectly and never mushy. Dinner was delicious every single time. I cook rice with every meal so I am so happy to have found this rice. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a delicious fluffy and flavorful rice.

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.

Love this rice

A friend recommended this rice some time ago and I kept purchasing another brand. I was in the rice isle at Sam's and decided to buy it. I will never buy another brand again. This rice cooks up right every time, it is perfect. I gave a few friends some to test and they love it too.

Best Value!

Basmati rice has a lower glycemic index than regular white rice so it is a better form of carbohydrate. While cooking, it fills the air with the delicate smell of popping corn. It goes well with just about anything white rice goes with. My favorite is Sesame chicken. I like to slightly undercook it and then freeze in single serving containers. That way you have cooked rice ready to reheat any time.

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!
