Royal Cilantro Lime Basmati Rice - Ready to Heat Basmati Rice - (4 Pack) 8.5 oz Microwaveable Pouch

Coming from someone who has debilitating GI issues, among many other things, the only thing I can really eat and enjoy anymore is white rice and lightly seasoned chicken. For a quick and easy prep, this stuff is amazing. I love the texture, its not soft and soggy and all clumped together like a lot of the rice packages usually are in my opinion and I like the taste as well. Great value for money on top of everything!

I've been trying to eat cleaner, which has proven to be very challenging, particularly with prepared/packaged foods. When I discovered that the Royal Lemon, Garlic and Herb rice got a Green (good) 72/100 rating in the app I use, I couldn't get it into my shopping cart fast enough. I had a pouch for lunch today, and I was absolutely thrilled with it! I microwaved it in the pouch (super easy to prepare). It broke apart easily (typically an indication of freshness) and both the rice and the chick peas were perfectly cooked. Not over or under done. The flavor is rich and very satisfying; lemon and garlic are staples in my kitchen, so this super convenient side dish will will be on my table often. I can't wait to try the other flavors!

Love these. Keep them in my office for lunch.

These Black bean & rice that come in a pouch are a good size meal or hearty snack to keep you full for a till next meal. They heat great great in microwave only take 90 seconds can eat out of the pouch with spoon/fork or transfer + very good if you add some cheese or salsa chili sauce salmon shrimp olives green peppers spinach corn. I have made a couple meals in one pan after l heated up a couple of pouch’s ten added to a big pot or pan on the stove all ingredients together cooking at low temperature with top over lid checking often. This product is low in fat & calories it is filling by itself l will continue to purchase it because of the good taste not being just plain rice it has flavor you don’t even need seasoning.

This is decent, but unfortunately at least for us, it's a bit dry. Follow the instructions which is of course simple for this type of product. Cooked for 90 seconds and let's sit for a couple of minutes to finish and cool a bit before opening. It's not bad. It's just a bit on the dry side and required a little bit of sauce that I have to mix with it to bring back some moisture and flavor. As with any product like this it has a lot of sodium but it also does have a lot of fiber. Not sure if I will buy it again, though.

I didn’t just heat up a pouch of rice. I unlocked a culinary time bomb detonated with molten white queso, jalapeño fire, and the royalty of basmati itself. The microwave trembled. My taste buds surrendered. Each pouch—8.5 oz of unapologetic flavor warfare—unleashed a royal decree: Thou shall never eat plain rice again. The white queso is creamy, decadent, a velvet hammer of indulgence. The jalapeños? Not just a kick—a roundhouse to the face, courtesy of a spice god with no mercy. I paired it with grilled chicken once. The chicken cried tears of inadequacy. I tried it solo, and the rice flexed its independence like it was born to be the main event. Perfect texture. Zero prep stress. Pure microwave mayhem. Four pouches? Not enough. I need a pallet. Maybe a bunker full. VERDICT: This isn't a side dish. This is a main character moment. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Would eat during a thunderstorm, a breakup, or while planning world domination.

Dry after cooking, bland flavor, and small, hard beans---"chickpeas," according to the package, but they don't look or taste like them. They're brown on the package, but black when cooked. I followed cooking directions but the beans were room temperature (the rice was hot) and not the least bit softer than dried.

When I learned about this brand of rice it is my go to This rice is top notch (to me), it doesn’t come with all that starch residue, luv that it’s long grain and definitely delicious A must buy for the healthy side, if you have a big fam Amazon got you they sell a huge bag.
