Lundberg Basmati Rice, Organic Long Grain White Rice - Non-Sticky, Fluffy, Nutty, Aromatic Rice, Vegan Food, Healthy Meals, Gluten-Free Rice Grown in California, 64 Oz

I have purchased this rice three times already. Yes, we love rice in our family. We are picky about what we eat. Lundberg has been very consistent. I was reluctant at first but it arrived in great condition. When I opened the bag, it smells fresh. Sometimes even in stores you get a bag of brown rice that has some musty smell. But that has never happened with Lundberg. So it passes the freshness test.The rice appearance is very pleasant. They are uniform and clean. I have not seen any impurities in the rice. It is very easy to wash. A couple of rounds of rinse is all it needs.We cook it in our zojirushi rice cooker on Brown Rice setting. It comes out perfect. It is fluffy and tastes great. I meshed some up for my 8 month old a couple days ago so it was a bit more sticky and he loved it too. So, it certainly passed the taste test.It is organic which is important because rice is one of the most polluted crops. Organic is the way to buy rice. Healthy, check!Price is great on Amazon. It is cheaper than the bulk organic rice At Wholefoods. In fact, I saw them refilling the bin in the store one time and they were pouring from a bag of Lundberg! So this rice is of great value.For all those reasons, we have this on auto ship. If you love good rice, you will love this product.

I have an IBD called Microscopic Colitis. Long story short, I can only eat/tolerate white rice and chicken.It's been almost two years now, and I have not reached remission or been able to tolerate other food.I've tried many different white rice brands and varieties, including Different Jasmine White Rice, but this one is superior to all. I love this rice. It's also one of the most expensive, but it's worth every penny!!!I cook it 2 to 1 but with just a little extra water. After 30 minutes, I turn off the heat and let it sit for another 10.Perfect rice. I like the creamy texture and sweet nutty flavor.

I love sushi. I realized, though, what I really enjoy is the sushi rice. I do like the raw fish but ordering a sushi from my local Japanese restaurant sets me back about $25 per meal. I now prepare this sushi rice for my own dishes (chicken, beef, actually any protein I like). I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I will say that 25#'s of rice takes up a lot of room, so I also purchased a 22 quart food storage container with a lid. It all works perfectly for. Bon apetit!The preparation instructions don't happen to be printed on the bag of rice, but if you go to the ordering page on Amazon and enlarge the Measurement and Instructions screen and follow them to the letter, your rice should be perfectly cooked.I don't even try to roll the rice as they do for sushi in a Japanese restaurant.

The rice bag was torn and taped and put inside a (leaky) box and then into a second leaky box so I received a box full of rice with 1/2 bag of rice leaking everywhere.I don’t think Amazon is paying their people well enough to actually do good shipping work.

Yummy rice, good price.

The expiration date of the rice I received was one month before I placed the order.I didn’t think to look but realized after the return window had closed. It’s too bad to pay for an expired product!

I’ve been buying this product for many years without any problem at all and have been very satisfied with it.For the first time ever in early Dec 2017, we received a bag that smelled ‘off’...like wet burlap, maybe even rotten burlap. I tried rinsing the rice many times but that did not get rid of the smell. The cooked texture of the rice was drier and crumbly. I inspected the bag closely for bugs but there were none. However there were grains that were partially yellow and brown.Customer service has been excellent.I still recommend this product because:1. For the most part it has been consistently good for many years.2. Buying in bulk is economical and good for the environment.3. Bag is paper, not plastic.

I have ordered a few bags from this company and find the rice is very flavorful just remember sometimes other shippers say short grain brown rice but look closely they will say semi polished and so forth this is the real deal no processing ,taste is wonderful and also they freshness stamp the bag because of the oil content of this grain ,don't leave it sitting around for more than six months it well become rancid, this explains why the Chinese polish their rice white white, to store forever, they are quick to refund if any product is damaged in shipping and no need to return items.
