Dunar - Elonga Basmati Rice Premium 1121 Long Grain, 10 Lb

This is absolutely my favorite kind of rice. It is super fresh, delicious, and the quality is consistently great. I find it to be very clean; I only give it a quick wash before boiling. It cooks perfectly every time, not sticky, and is wonderfully fluffy and bright white when it's done. Highly recommend!

My whole family agrees that this is the best Basmati there is. Treat it gently and fluff after you leave it alone to cook. This is not a sticky rice, super high quality never seen bugs/debris after more bags than I can count, cooks like white rice and the aroma is pure and nutty.

THE BEST I HAVE TRIED GREAT FLAVOR AND SIZE.

Excellent product and saved me a trip to the Asian market which is an hour away

I love this rice. A little pricey or I would have given 5 stars. I usually would only buy rice when I got chinese food. Not a huge rice eater. But I tried Basmati - Carolina brand and I liked it alot. So I will make it more often now. I would always buy house rice or pork fried and I decided I could make better, more tailored versions at home - fresher and control ingredients. Basmati is one of the most healthy rices as well and I'd rather this than overloading on pasta sides with so many empty carbs. I do find Dunar Basmati needs a good amount of rinsing to avoid that pasty look once cooked. Perfect for rice pudding but otherwise a good amount of rinsing is necessary. I don't like wasting that much water just to rinse rice. The Carolina brand I never rinsed, it's almost like it has already been well rinsed before packaging and it was perfect once cooked. Taste just as good. So, I may go back to that once this bag is gone.

This is the fluffiest most fragrant longest grain rice I have ever been able to find. I exclusively buy this now for all my Persian cuisine. Dunar is still my absolute favorite out of all the other brands I have tried!

I've tasted Jasmine rice, red sprouted rice, Korean med grain rice, short grain rice, and Uncle Ben's, and - when properly prepared - this is the most flavorful rice. It has to be rinsed repeatedly, and then cooked according to directions for Persian rice dishes for this rice to achieve its full qualities, fit for royalty. EDIT: I've since started using the "PASTA METHOD" of cooking this rice and I simply measure the dry rice into a pot of lightly salted boiling water and boil until done and then drain all the water out and put it back in the pot and let it sit for a few minutes to dry out. Fluffy all the time.... no rinsing preps needed. Serve it with a sweet and savory fruit stew - perfect. I purchased three bags of this because of the special Prime offer. I would order this again.

I was very upset when I received my box cotaining the rice purchased. The plastic bag mailed had a large rip on one of the side seams and all the rice had come out of packaging in to the box. To make matters worse, rice was falling out through some of the folds of the box. I would image that at least a third of the rice had fallen out. I did use some of the remaining rice, as I was curious about taste of this brand of basmati rice, and Ido have to say it's tasty. My husband loves the rice itself... now I just have to find somewhere to purchase it from.
