Review: We absolutely love this rice. I've researched the process used in making this an instant rice and it seems to retain the food value. The brown basmati rice is purported to be the most healthy rice. The flavor is excellent and it is truly ready in 90 seconds. Both my husband and I have some health issues and our doctors have recommended that we eat rice as part of a healthy diet. I've been making rice bowls for breakfast using this rice layered with an egg and avocado. I include sausage for my husband. We love it and it starts our day right. I've also made rice and beans, chicken casserole and just as a side dish. I do not make good rice. It never cooks thoroughly. This is easy to use and the texture is what you would want in a well prepared rice. We are very happy with this product.
Review: . The butter and garlic flavor is rich and savory without being overwhelming and adds a delicious boost to simple weeknight dinners. It heats up fast in the microwave which makes it perfect when you need a side dish in minutes. The texture is fluffy and not mushy and pairs well with everything from grilled chicken to sautéed veggies. I like that the pouches are easy to store and portion out which helps cut down on food waste. The pack of 12 is generous and great for stocking the pantry so youll always have a ready side dish on hand. Overall this rice delivers reliable flavor and convenience which makes meal prep easier and more enjoyable. I would definitely buy it again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need to be more specific as this covers every ucle ben's rice. is the ben's original ready rice pouch basmati rice parboiled? i'm on low fodmap diet**
A: I looked up low fodmap diets and whole grains, including rice are foods that will not cause digestive problems, and Ready Rice makes the preperation much easier.

**Q: How long will it take to heat up on the dashboard of a 2014 Land Rover on a hot Summer day?**
A: Define a hot summer day!  If you put it there by 8 am and keep the vehicle closed up it might be ready about lunch time.

**Q: Uncle bens ready rice Spanish style package said expired 30 days ago would it still be good**
A: That might be a question for the company. Expectation dates are mysterious. But the package is sealed and unless it's puffy it is probably ok

**Q: is this rice parboiled? not simply patially cooked....but parboiled? i'm on a low fodmap diet and cannot do parboiled. sorry uncle ben**
A: This rice is completely cooked. It's just like you cooked it at home, let it cool, and packaged it. You just warm this up.

This vegetable flavored rice is an excellent side dish to any meal. Move potatoes, Ready Rice with Veggies has filled your spot on the plate. I can eat the Ready Rice Garden vegetable packet myself in one sitting as my meal. I love this rice. I buy them in a box of 12 so that I know I won’t run out.
