Wholefood Earth Organic Brown Basmati Rice 3 kg , GMO Free, Source of Fibre

My packet arrived today, 4 November 2024, and the best-by date is October, 2026 ...so plenty of time to use this lovely rice. Very pleased.

I always buy this rice it is good quality and cooks well. It is tasty and good value for money.

So I bought this rice in May 2021 and I’ve just today started to run out (I generally follow a low carb diet). I love this rice it tastes amazing and it’s easy to cook imo, literally bring to the boil and then a low heat for 25 minutes, so I came back to re-order following the same link from my previous purchase. I paid £3.55 for this and now it’s almost £20?! I’m aware of the global rice shortage that’s likely affecting the cost but goodness, it’s over 300% more! I’ll probably buy the non organic one and see how I get on with that as it’s slightly cheaper and I really do love this brand, but never thought I’d see a day where I’d have to move things around in my shopping budget for rice! I hope the prices come back down soon :)

Tasty rice, good for you, no rubbish in it, organic and great value. Perfect!

Apparently a good quality rice with a good flavour but recommendations for cooking would have been preferred without having to resort to a cookery book or the Web for the information. Rice that is apparently identical but from different brands can need vastly different cooking times; some recommend a long soak after a quick rinse while other suggest several rinses and draining in-between etc - specific product-related instructions would have been useful. Did not rinse other than to remove any grit etc, brought to boil with enough water to cover and a little salt; simmered for about 28-30 minutes and seemed OK.Other food products have been previously purchased from the brand but none of them were of rice.

I've never bought this large amount before, but liked the sound of this one. It has only just arrived, but have just tried some, and it's lovely, Not sure if I've cooked it right, but I covered in cold water, brought to the boil ,scooped the frothy bits off, simmered for 20 mins and then tried it. It is very earthy, but then nearly all wholegrains are, it was cooked, but I continued for another 5 mins. Rinsed in a colander (I used hot water, but some friends always use cold water) and I found it so much nicer. I would buy this again.

Quality products the only thing with brown rice is you have to cook it a little bit longer and put a little bit more water works well with soups

This is my first experience with brown basmati rice. And it has become my favourite rice - it tastes wholesome and has a nuttier taste that white basmati rice. It is slightly al dente, which I prefer to results from white basmati of a similar cooking time. We rinse it once before cooking. My wife has recently mixed this rice (50/50) with white basmati, but the flavour still comes through. I think the product is good value for money and I will buy it again.
