UNCLE BEN'S Whole Grain Brown Rice, 25 Pound

This is the second time I bought this that it is the original Uncle Ben's and it came to be Ben's which is expensive i love it because it is a brown rice and as good as the 25pounds so write that it is Ben's and sell it cheap.

I think this tastes better than other brown rice available at the store. I'm thankful it's available during this pandemic! It arrived about 5 days after I placed the order, much quicker than estimated. The directions are based on multiples of 25 servings (which made me laugh), so if you want to cook a more reasonable quantity, it's 2 cups of water per cup of rice. I've found a good ratio to be: 1 cup rice 2 cups water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 tablespoon olive oil Bring to a boil, then simmer until the water has all been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Very good tasting rice!

I’ve been buying 25 pound bags of uncle Ben’s rice for the last few months. I’ve been feeding it to my dog though because he cannot eat regular dog food due to a tumor in his mouth. I love uncle Ben’s and so does he. Not sure what will happen when I have to buy just plain Ben’s rice. He’s been my uncle for years.

Thought it might be good, given the current world events, to pick up some bulk dry goods. Since the local grocery stores are mostly missing items. Forget Costco...it would be like shopping in a human petri dish. NO thanks. This was one of the cheapest on Amazon. Just cooked up a batch and it's what I expected. Good rice, good seller got it MUCH FASTER than expected.

I love Uncle Bens brown rice. This is not it...it is a multigrain of some sort. It is going to take some fiddling around to get the water to rice ratio to the point I like it. I made it too soft then not soft enough and the taste was stronger than I was used to with the brown rice. I have 24ls of rice to use now. I will get the ratio down and the rice will be better. I now have tried it for the third time and the flavor is growing on me and frankly I kinda like it.

Uncle Ben's rice is always top notch. Rarely get a husk in my rice. Whole grain rice is only available in 2 pound bags in the chain stores like Walmart, and the cost of buying it in the small bags is consideribly higher, when it's one of the main food sources that I eat. Being a dried goodz I can vacpack and store it for years, not that it lasts that long.

We like brown rice and Uncle Ben's cooks faster than regular brown rice, just about like white. It's sometimes hard to find in the stores so this is a quick and easy way to get it, and buying it in bulk is cheaper.

I use Lundberg short grain brown rice, impossible to find right now at Costco, even Costco online. This was the "cheapest" brown rice out there by bulk and I went for the large bag, however be warned that this is parboiled rice which means it has been partially cooked to make it cook quicker. Nutrients are lost this way. The bag clearly shows this in the product offering so it was my fault I missed it in my fever to get some brown rice..the fact that it is long grain instead of short grain I could live with, but if I had known I would have just gotten basmati brown rice.
