So tell me why I bought this 20lb bag of rice for 16.98, but now you’re charging 59.99?! What is wrong with you?! You should be ashamed of yourself.

Aftermarket rice is NOT fine, EVEN if you are a peasant like me, but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2018

Size: 20 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Update:
I thought it would just be bland and buggy, but it left a horrible, chemical-like aftertaste. A bit worried I might have poisoned myself. Inedible, even to me. Returned it.

Original Review:
Considered giving 2 stars, because I did not return this and will eat it, despite problems, but, realistically, most people reading this review wouldn't put up with this, nor should they have to. (At the time of purchase, price was less than plain white rice per pound and I bought it with rewards points, so it was free to me... and I am dealing with food insecurity.)

Addressing the common complaints:

1. Packaging: As many have experienced, the inner plastic bag was torn open. Upon inspection, I believe, in this case, it was done accidentally in handling (the tear was along the top seam, as if it had been picked up roughly.) Almost no rice had spilled out, but it easily could have.

2. Insects: I let the bag sit for a couple of weeks and no moths or live insects appeared, as has happened to others. However! I had to wash the rice thoroughly before cooking, because there are a few dead insects in it. Gross, right? Oh, well, a girl needs to eat.

3. Authenticity: Unlike others, who received parboiled rice or plain white rice, mine was real basmati. However! It was very stale. There was no real aroma. I suspect that Royal sold off a lot of old/damaged merchandise and a third party is selling this "aftermarket" rice.

Conclusion: If you are on a very tight budget and can get this for free, and if you don't mind bugs and staleness, roll the dice, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone I know and won't take my chances on it again.

Wonderful rice. Occasionally cheaper on Amazon than at the Asian food market

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2017

Size: 20 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I am a rice eater, and a rice connoisseur. This is my favorite rice -- or at least, my favorite that is easily available. I was surprised to find today that a 20lb bag of this rice is now selling about twenty percent cheaper on Amazon than it is at my big local oriental food market (fifteen bucks today for the big 20# bag, but this certainly will change). Most oriental food products are much cheaper at the store than they are through Amazon.. Don't hesitate to by a big bag -- this rice ages well. You can store 20 pounds for a a year or two in a cool, dry place, without any degradation in quality. Basmati rice is usually aged.

Basmati rice is not "sticky" like Jasmine and many other varieties, particularly short-grain rices. There are several traditional ways to cook this rice. Some involve soaking and washing. But the easy (and perfectly fine) way to cook it is to just add 2 cups rice to 4 cups water. Add some salt if desired. Bring gently to a boil uncovered, then cover the pot, and immediately turn down the heat to low, and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes; give it a stir a couple times to keep it from sticking to the pan bottom. Just do a taste test to see when it is done to y our taste. It comes out delicious every time, and it is hard to mess up, even if you cook a little too long on low heat. This is so easy to cook that I have never understood the need for a rice cooker!

If you do want the rice a little bit "stickier" -- as you might when served with Chinese dishes -- substitute a small amount of short-grain rice, such as Botan. I use one and three-quarter cups Basmati with one-quarter cup Botan (and add four cups water) when cooking rice to accompany Chinese dishes that are eaten with chopsticks. ( Eating pure Basmati rice with chopsticks is difficult!)

Plastic bag was open

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018

Size: 20 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

The rating is not for the quality of rice, but for the packaging. The burlap bag was intact, however, upon opening that bag, it was revealed that the plastic bag inside containing the rice had come apart at the seam where it was supposed to be heat sealed. I'm storing the rice in separate containers so I am going to inspect to make sure there are no bugs and will use it regardless as it would be such a waste. I read the reviews warning about the packaging but figured I would go ahead and purchase this product as I like the brand. I have purchased it locally in stores, but for the price online, it was hard to pass up. I will not purchase again online even if it is a better deal.

Plastic bag of rice was not sealed

Sturdy burlap sack. Cut the plastic band that kept the zipper on the sack closed. Was ready to cut open the plastic bag of rice to realize it was not sealed completely. I uploaded pics. Unfortunately, no returns, so I'll have to call Amazon.

Age old storage tips from an Indian

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020

Size: 20 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I personally love this rice. Have been using for the past three and half years. No complaints.

A tip for long term storage: Put some dry red chillies (available online or any Indian store or even regular grocery stores at times) in the bag of rice and just use rubber bands or clips to tie it up and put inside the bag. Insects will never affect the rice. This is an age old technique that works wonders. I guarantee you.

I give it my Persian Seal of Approval!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017

Size: 20 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This is the same Royal Basmati that we used to get at Sam's for around the same price (we have not renewed our Sam's Club membership because we can buy almost everything on Amazon or from Costco these days). It even came in the nice burlap sack (not the plastic bag shown)! As a Persian, we give this rice our Seal of Approval. It's the best Basmati rice you can find regularly.
