I really love this rice! I work days and go to class nights, so I have to put forth an effort to keep healthy, quick options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for me at all times. This stuff stores well in my desk at work, and all I have to do is bring a package of frozen veggies and some soy sauce for a really fast and semi-healthy lunch or dinner.

As for the comments about the "plastic flavor", I've never noticed that. However, you don't have to keep the rice in the bag to cook it-- you can just as easily pour it into a bowl and heat it that way. I've cooked it in the bag (add a little mzithra cheese and butter- YUM) and other ways, too, and it always turns out great.

As options go for "fast food" this is one of the healthier options I've found. I totally recommend this (probably not from amazon, though, you can usually get these packets cheaper at your local grocery store...)

Have no idea what the dude is talking aboout concerning plastic taste. Maybe they cooked it too long (though that would be kind of absent minded), but they taste great. I just wish it was a tad cheaper.

I love rice and really had hopes that this product would be great. Rice can be a pain to make, with this only taking 90 seconds in the microwave, it was really appealing! Really I should have known better though... a product being cooked in a plastic bag is going to come out smelling like plastic. The smell of plastic was pretty stomach turning, couldn't possibly be good for you....
