    Great Purchase - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    This (to me) has a Moroccan/Middle Eastern flavor. While it's cooking I put a box of raisins in the bottom of the bowl. The rice pilaf is very hot when it comes out of the microwave. Immediately put it over the raisins. and stir. Yes, I eat the entire meal. I would cook 2 and serve it for company.

    Good but you have to add seasoned salt to it… if you don’t add that…. very bland

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rice didn't not have no flavor. It was dry and clumped up together. The bag was easy to open and heate up in the microwave. It's good for and easy side but it had an aftertaste and I couldn't finish the rice.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pilaf is ok. Not great but works very well for a quick alternative on a very busy day. We used to eat it when I was a little girl but I remember it being a lot better. I am not sure if the recipe was changed or if I just did not know any better.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This prepackaged rice was easy to prepare, the instructions are stated on the back and were simple to follow. The taste was ok, I prefer eating rice cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients. If you are in a time crunch or want something very affordable, I think this product would be great for you and your family? Very convenient!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family had never tried the Ready Rice Pilaf. It was much faster prep to ready than stove rice. Directions were easy to understand and large enough to read. No messy pan to clean and constantly stir so it didn’t boil over. We already bought more! The cost is higher than stove rice but well worth the easy clean up! Rice was moist.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy all of Ben's rice products - this packaging was great and perfect for a quick side or a meal / lunch - It is easy to store - as you do not have to refrigerate you leave this in the cabinet until you need it - just microwave and boom you are set - the rice is great quality and taste as usual - I would recomend this

Quick and easy to do last minute. Especially when. You forget to pull things out for dinner. Perfect cook every time.

    Easy, Tasty, but Kinda Small

    Awoo - 2 years ago

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great weeknight side as it's quick and easy. Making rice from scratch takes at least 30 minutes by the time a pot boils, cook for 20, and fluff and cool for 5 minutes. And haven't even flavored it yet! But this Ready Rice takes just a few minutes and tastes great. The only thing that would be better about it, at least for our family of 4, is if there was more in the pouch. As it is, it's 2.2 oz of a side per person which just isn't enough. I'd buy again though just for the ease.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so convenient for people who want something quick and easy. You can add just about anything to this rice. I love that you have many different flavors to choose from. The only thing I found with this rice is no matter what flavor you will have to add some spice or flavoring as it is a bit bland, other than that it is very easy and convenient. You get a good size portion, so if you want to share you can.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made Ben’s Original rice pilaf with roasted chicken and salad and it was such an easy side to add to our meal. It took just a few minutes to make and both my husband and I enjoyed it. It has a very mild taste so anyone can eat it. The only thing we noticed that happens so often with serving sizes is, my hubby and I easily split this and the package says it feeds four. Yes I know servings are much smaller than we all think but just know that if you’re serving four people they’ll be smaller servings.
