Better rice pilaf than even out in a restaurant!
This is the ONLY rice my kids and grandkids actually love! It tastes as good or better than any rice you can buy in the supermarket, and somehow it's better than any rice pilaf you will eat out!

Best pilaf
This is so easy to make and it tastes amazing -- out whole family loves it including our toddler and super picky middle schooler. The ingredients are nice and clean and it's so easy to make. Always a crowd pleaser when this is on the menu. Warm and savory flavor, perfect soft and chewy texture.

Slightly fancier no effort rice
Loved this as a kid and now my son loves it. Cooks easy in an instant pot too - just reduce the water to 1.5 cups and use the rice button

Delicious and Easy
Great price compared to Frys/Kroger. This rice is easy to make, needing only a tablespoon of butter or olive oil and water, and tastes delicious - my six year old is always happy when it's part of dinner. As a mom, I'm happy there isn't anything startling in the ingredients.

Tasty and vegetarian
My kids and I love this rice pilaf and have it for dinner at least weekly. My oldest is a picky eater and this is her number one favorite food. It’s vegetarian too!

Its easy and quick
It’s an easy dish to prepare when you have no time, energy, or thoughts running through your brain. Also maybe slightly healthier than a bowl of ramen or Mac and cheese or something (or maybe it’s just wishful thinking). Anyway, it gets the job done.

Great side dish, goes with almost anything
one of my favorite boxed rice mixes. Not too salty, has a subtle flavor that allows you to pair the rice with almost anything.

Delish
Was not expecting this to be as delicious as it was but man it’s a 10/10. Most boxed rices are either toooo salty or bland but this one was perfection. Made it in my rice cooker in a few minutes. Highly recommend

GOOD to keep on hand!
This rice mix is a blessing to keep on hand for the MANY times that I need to fix a fast side dish. It is delicious, and very important, it is a non-gmo product. Seasoned just right, unlike my homemade that always gets “not enough this or that”; or, “too much this or that”.
