Your beloved pantry staple is now a powered-up, protein-packed, mealtime go-to with Banza Plain Rice made from chickpeas. Why? Because chickpeas are delicious, good for the planet, and a great source of plant-based protein. Banza Plain Rice is gluten free and nutrient-dense with 9g of protein and 5g of fiber per serving. What’s better? It looks, cooks, and tastes like traditional version, so you can enjoy a healthy, balanced rice, orzo, soup (the list goes on!) dish without compromising on flavor. Infused with a rich garlic chipotle oil, this rice comes with a flavor packet of dried spices and herbs that achieve twice the flavor, while using less than half the sodium from the leading flavored rice.

Banza’s line-up of high-protein, high fiber, lower carb and gluten-free comfort foods also includes pizza, waffles, mac & cheese and rice.

Q: Are you able to pour hot water in the bag and cook it that way? Asking cuz it'd be cool to take backpacking

Q: This is label "certified gluten free" yet it also states manufactured on the same equipment as wheat.

submitted by Celiac fam - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Celiac Fam, Thanks for reaching out and for your question. We understand your concern, and want to address your question in full. For transparency, check out our comprehensive allergen information chart on our FAQ page which outlines all allergen info for each specific product that we sell. Our rice is produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility but is packed in a facility that also processes Egg, Milk, Peanuts, Soy, Tree Nuts, Wheat. When allergens are present at a facility, Banza manufacturing partners sanitize and test each manufacturing line between production runs to ensure our products do not come into contact with allergens. Furthermore, we understand that manufacturing facilities that use shared production equipment to produce foods both with and without gluten could result in gluten cross-contact. We test all of our finished products after manufacturing and can confirm that the presence of gluten is always below 10 ppm, which is below the standard for Certified Gluten-Free Products as defined by the FDA and in line with the Certified Gluten Free Organization. That said, we always recommend talking to a doctor, dietitian, or an allergist before introducing any Banza products into your diet if you have concerns about sensitivity to cross contamination. I also wanted to let you know that in the coming months, we will be completely manufacturing this product in a dedicated gluten-free facility. Our packaging will be updated to reflect this change. I hope this provides some additional clarity! Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you have any further questions :) Pasta la vista, Team Banza

KB - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Great substitute for rice…not mushy at all and held its shape. Directions are different than normal rice instructions and water needs to be drained out with fine strainer after cooking. The garlic seasoning doesn’t add too much flavor, but I just treated it like plain rice and served with pot roast on top. Delicious!! I’m 100% buying again. Their penne pasta was great too!

Misleading packaging. It’s not even close to rice. I swear half of it disintegrated in water. It’s just mushy, thick mucus, and weird. I just threw it out after making it. Wasted my time and money.

More like orzo than rice

3 out of 5 stars
RyanD82 - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I'll give Banza the benfit of the doubt and say that it's probably unintentional, but the packaging is misleading. It looks like one of those 90-second microwaveable rice pouches. If I had known there would be boiling and draining involved, I probably would not have orderered this. The texture is alright. More like pasta than rice. Just like with Banza pasta, it's easy to overcook this. Moreso because the pieces are smaller. I made this a couple times and the first time turned out like mush. Second time was much better, but you have to keep an eye on it. Took a minute or so less than the instructions stated. It's not an explosion of flavor, the garlic and olive oil is pretty subtle, but it's there, and this "rice" is pleasantly fragrant. Again though, it's defintely more pasta-like than rice-like.

Was the right texture and cooked up very easily. I would say it definitely needed more flavor though. I cooked some flavorful chicken and poured the leftover juice at the bottom of the pan on top of it to sit. When I heated it back up it tasted amazing 10/10

This was a real winner for dinner. I was skeptical at first that no one in my family would like it but it was a huge hit! You can’t even tell it’s not real rice and it’s full of flavor. We paired it with chicken and it was delicious!

It works as rice but is better as orzo! This didn’t stop me from eating it as rice (with beans or protein and veggies). It is shockingly good. If it came out mushy- I guarantee they cooked it like rice and didn’t follow the directions. It comes out perfect for me every time!

Sticky, Mushy Mess

2 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Jess - 2 years ago
I cooked this according to the directions, even timing how long the “rice” was simmering, but it turned out very thick and mushy. The texture wasn’t like rice at all, well maybe I could compare it to sticky sushi rice. If I wanted to, I could have shaped it all into a ball right after cooking, throw it into the air, catch it, and it would still hold its shape. If you add the optional oil or butter, it might get rid of the stickiness. The instructions didn’t say to rinse, only to drain, so that could help too. Also, you should know that the serving size of 1.8 ounces is based on the weight of the dry, uncooked product. There are “about” 4 servings according to the bag, so the nutrition info might not be the most accurate if you’re closely tracking your macros or calories. And there’s a seasoning packet involved, so it’s not like you can easily cook only one 1.8 Oz serving at a time. Tasted pretty good though.

Hi, Jess -- While we’re bummed to hear you didn’t love your most recent experience with Banza Garlic Olive Oil Rice, we always welcome and encourage this honest feedback. That said, this is not how our rice is supposed to whip up during mealtime and we’d love to take a deeper dive. When you get a moment, could you send a quick note to info@eatbanza.com so we can gather some additional details and make things right?

I am a huge fan of the chickpea pasta and have even replaced it over traditional pasta. I was excited to try this rice and thought the rice and the seasoning smelt a bit off but made it anyways. Can’t force myself to have more than one bite, it is disgusting. I don’t know if I got a rancid package or something, but I’m questioning if all of the 5 star reviews are tasting the same thing I am.

This rice is delicious. The texture holds up well in rice recipes that I’ve previously used with long grain white rice. My family enjoys it as well. The protein and fiber content makes this perfect for my dietary needs. It’s quick and easy to make.

I haven't had rice in 34 years due to being allergic to it. This.. this is a great substitute. I highly recommend it for anyone allergic to rice. It tastes good, and has the same texture profile as rice.

I have found recipes for orzo better suited than pretending this is rice. The flavor is pasta and tastes fine like all Banza products!
