- Royal Authentic Basmati Brown Rice - Whole Grain, Naturally Gluten Free and Vegan, 10 lb

Fresh and delicious! The grains are fairly long and the flavor is true to the basmati; nutty and aromatic. Love that it is not "aged" which we have found with some to have a machine-oil type of smell/taste. It cooked up perfectly in my Instant Pot! Recommend.

The rice cooks well, not clumpy, or sticky. Has a nice mild taste.

If you like long grain brown rice at a great value this is for you! I've noticed some reviewers were saying they are bugs or some such... I've ordered this four times -40 lbs- and I've never seen any evidence at all of insects in this rice.

Seems to take longer to cook but taste great.

I've been buying this brand of white rice for years. I love the rich flavor and smell of it. The brown is even better and in my opinion much healthier for you. (that was in summer of 2017) update - june 2018 I guess I'd had the rice a month or so and found it had little bugs in it. When I was a kid we called them weevils, but not sure that is the name. I also bought organic oats. It too had the little bugs in it. I thought maybe the bugs went from the oats to the rice. However when I opened the other bag of rice I'd bought it too had the bugs in it. So I had to throw out 20 pounds of rice and 25 pounds of oats. The only common element is that I got it all on Amazon. I'd love to buy it again, but not if it is full of bugs. update - April 2019. I don't know what happened in 2017. So many things I ordered had the little bugs in it. I had my second unopened bad of this brown rice in my pantry. I thought I had already opened it, but I hadn't. The other rice I'd opened before was white Royal Basmati rice. The unopened bag of the brown was solid and dirty looking with a funny looking mass in it. And they bag felt like it weighted more than it's orginal 10 pounds. I just threw the whole thing away. Since then I have bought another bag of white Royal Basmati (some time last year, 2018). It is find.

Apologies for the late review but after purchasing this product I did not get to use it right away but after opening it and using it the first time, the rice was very good. Unfortunately when I was going to prepare more a couple of weeks later I found several winged bugs in it and after digging through it discovered that there were a lot of them in the rice . The rice was in a sealed container so the only conclusion that I can come up with is that it was full of the insect eggs when I received it. Will never order products like this online again.

Did you know this is a healthier rice?

this is good value for the money, it has a really good taste and aroma the cooking time is not much more than white rice it's versatile I cook it every time I need rice it can be used in any recipe
