Authentic Royal Naturally Aged Indian White Basmati Rice, Long-Grain, Gluten-free - 5 lbs

A few years ago, my favorite brand of basmati rice was suddenly nowhere to be found, so I bought Royal basmati rice. I was hopeful but also expecting to be disappointed, because so much of the basmati rice sold in grocery stores is not true basmati rice, grown in India and aged properly, but rather inferior rice blends. I was pleasantly surprised, because this is excellent rice. Just follow the easy rinsing, soaking, and cooking instructions, and you'll have fragrant, fluffy, non-sticky, flawless rice every time. Once or twice, I didn't have time to soak the rice and just rinsed it really well, and it's still turned out beautifully. Even my husband, who hasn't always loved rice as much as I do, has turned into a huge rice fan. He asks for it often, and is happy to eat a bowl of hot basmati rice with just a touch of olive oil or real butter and a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked pepper. But honestly, if either of us were served a bowl of this rice, steaming hot, with nothing on it, we'd happily eat it. That's how good it is.
