This rice was OK . It comes in pouches , 4 servings each which is a downer for me as I only need 1 serving at a time it is cooked in half the time [10 min ] of the regular Basmati that I buy. tasted just like I thought it should. It is a little pricy in my local store but I'm sure it would be cheaper in a big city. I think it is good for family's where time is important and it could be purchased on sale.
