Very nice product. Prompt shipping and nicely packaged. Will definitely buy it again.

It's not extra long rice is it - just normal basmati you cheeky monkeys. Returned.

This is an excellent rice, taste and texture.

Great quality

Early thoughts. New to using brown rice but my first couple of forays into using this brown basmati rice has been good. So much to learn in how to prepare it correctly. First off, this Pride Of India - Extra Long Brown Basmati Rice is a very clean product. There does not seem to be any noticeable run off from rinsing the product. I am convinced that rinsing and a soak is a must. My first two experiences tell me that it takes longer to prepare/cook than indicated in package instructions. Only tried Absorbtion method so far, using 2:1 ratio. Rinse 2-3 times, soak for maybe 20-25 min then drain, return to pot adding the water, boil for 4-5 minutes, then simmer covered for a good 30 + minutes until moisture absorbed, then let stand another 7 minutes or so. For now, I prefer the pilaf preparation saute'ing onions in the pot before adding broth as replacement for the water. Add up to a cup of additional mixed saute'd veggies to the pot for the let stand phase. I added more onions, some mushroom, peas and carrots. Don't think I have quite found the sweet spot for my preferred method/s, but I'll keep trying variations including a boil/drain method for a plain brown rice option I'll update after a few more attempts to improve.

I have been buying this for a long time as it is a reliable product for use in my rice cooker. I have my fingers crossed that tariffs do not affect availability, but I will continue to use it as long as possible. Very health, especially if you have a GABA setting as my rice cooker does. Long grain brown basmati is just so tender with a very nutty taste. Try it and enjoy!

I'm enjoying rice again! I've been buying "brown rice" off the shelves of regular stores because TJ's stopped carrying their Brown Basmati. The plain brown rice was nothing like TJs and really turned me off of eating rice at all. Sooooo sticky and clumpy and a dull flavor. Now, with this Extra Long Brown Basmati rice, I'm back to chowing down on rice. The first time I cooked it, I was so happy with how it turned out. It smelled great and despite me accidentally using too much water, so having to cook it longer, the rice did not clump together and it was delicious! I literally stood at the counter eating it straight out of the pot because the smell was so enticing, plus I just couldn't believe how separate the grains were. Yum yum yum. More, please!
