Eh. This is okay, but not super appetizing. Interesting to try brown basmati rice (as opposed to “regular” brown rice), but I wouldn’t eat it again without seasoning or sauce.

I found that this product has a musty taste/smell, and that seasonings and sauce do not cover it up or make it any less objectionable, unfortunately. I am going to toss the rest of the bag.

Might be okay if they put the right directions on the bag. Too much water and consequently it takes too long to cook off the excess water, and you end up with water logged rice. Next time I’ll try half as much water.

Horrible. Smell is really bad. I have cooked brown basmati rice in bulk from other stores, the long way (30 minutes), never had an issue. The first time I tried this I rinsed the rice, the second time I did not. It was gross both times. Supposed to be “quick-cook”, but not only does it not absorb water, the odor is really sickening. Dumped both batches in disposal.
