I have been buying this rice for years and it has always been great. The packaging has recently changed and my rice arrived in a burlap sack. There was a plastic bag/liner inside the sack but none of the rice was inside the plastic. Will not be buying again.

Good riceWill order again

I have gotten this a few times and it is the same quality each delivery. Easy to prepare. I rinse this first. I then add new water and let soak for at least 15 mins. then rinse again. I do that several times. The process does make the rice less sticky which I prefer. I do not like all the starch on rice. The flavor is good. Never found any objects in container. Seems fresh and clean each purchase.

Absolutely the best rice I've ever had. It's so difficult to find rice that cooks without clumping or being mushy. This rice is absolutely perfect. I'm ordering more.

We very much liked the Pride of India Brown Basmati rice that we had previously purchased in the pricey 3lb container that we tried our first time out to see if we even liked the brown basmati. Liked it very much, but we needed to move on to a larger quantity to get a more affordable price per pound. I was very hesitant to buy this 5lb bag because of the jute bag that gave me concern of insects and spoilage as noted in some reviews. And the 10lb purchase is just too much for only 2 people.Thanks to the responses to my posted question about the packaging, I was informed the rice was concealed in a plastic bag within the jute bag, providing decent protection for the product. Upon receipt, I opened it right away to check for insects and potential mustiness/spoilage and am satisfied of the quality of the product received within. I would not recommend keeping it stored in this bag once opened (Not really resealable) and transferred mine to a sealable storage container.The seller/manufacturer should update their website listing reflecting the full nature of the packaging. To be honest I would prefer updated packaging that was either a resealable container like the 3lb tub or and all plastic resealable bag. Either would be fine with me.Having said all that, we really like the Pride of India Brown Basmati the best of the 3 brands we have tried and will continue to buy. We don't really mind the cook time required. We cook a cup at a time using chicken broth/stock and it makes more than enough for more than 2 meals for the two of us. Since the second meal is simply a reheat with a short fix time, the 2 meals preparation kind of balance out.

OMG. As a lifelong rice lover, I wanted to try an actual Indian grown basmati. The grains are thinner than, an American style rice, so reduce your cooking time by a few minutes. This is a premium grade rice, as it should be, at this price point. Few, if any broken grains with a uniform grain size. I would also recommend rinsing this rice in cold water and use a bamboo steamer. I also use a parchment liner, inside the steamer. Set your timer. I’m old school, no electric rice cookers for me.Once cooked fluff the 3/4” to 1” long cooked grains Bentley with a fork and dug in.
