Authentic Royal - Naturally Aged Long Grain Indian White Basmati Rice - 15 lbs

I recently purchased Royal Basmati Rice and was very impressed with the quality. As soon as you open the bag, you can smell its natural, aromatic fragrance. The grains are long, slender, and don’t break easily.When cooked, the rice stays fluffy and separate—not sticky at all. I used it to accompany a homemade curry and also in a pilaf recipe, and both turned out amazing. It has a light texture and a mild flavor that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes.It also cooks quickly, especially if you soak it for a few minutes beforehand. Overall, this is a top-quality basmati rice, perfect for fans of Indian, Asian, or simply elevated white rice dishes.I would definitely buy it again. Highly recommended.

I have used this brand before, when it was available in actual burlap bag,the sturdy plastic bags arrived just fine.I always place food products into glass containers as this allows me to check the contents for any problems, easy to store & use. I cook my rice in an instantpot using these directions: 4 cups rice ( I saw no difference in rinsed or unrinsed rice) 4 cups water or broth.High Pressure/More setting at 6 minutes,quick release.Fluff hot rice well.This gives me perfect al dente rice every time,cooked tender but firm. Perfect for bowls of rice with sauces, soups,vegetables,fruits,meats added over.

Royal rice never disappoints. Whether I’m making a quick dinner or cooking for guests, this rice always comes out fluffy, aromatic, and full of flavor. It cooks evenly and doesn’t get sticky or mushy like other brands. I especially love how versatile it is—I use it for everything from curry dishes to stir-fry and even rice pudding.You can really taste the quality. It has that authentic, restaurant-style texture that makes every meal feel special. Definitely a staple in my pantry. Highly recommended!

Ok, many of ya'll had me freaking out that I bought a 15 lb bag of plastic pieces. I gave the bag a sniff test, and couldnt pick up any aroma. Doesn't basmati rice emanate a luscious aroma? So I looked up other brands (well known) and saw similar comments about the rice not having an aroma. Then I decided that the only way I would know is just to cook some. First I added a little to a plain pan and proceeded to "toast" it on my gas top stove. I figured if there were plastic bits, I would see it, smell it right? Nothing unusual to be noted. Threw that out, and took fresh rice to add to my rice cooker (rinsed well first). I made according to my machines directions. As it cooked I could smell the aroma that I expected. When it was done, the pieces were perfect. Not sticky, totally fluffy. No gumminess. Tasted as it should.Then I wanted to look over the plastic bag within the burlap sack. In order to pull it out I had to pour out some rice. Glad I did this because once in a bowl (2 quart size), I put my nose to it and could smell the rice just fine. There's that aroma! After I pulled out the plastic bag with remainder of rice, I looked it over for holes, bugs, and debris. No bugs, no debris. I did see some tiny holes. Very small, and I could tell that they were/are most likely puncture marks from the rice. Not many, but enough for me to double bag it with another plastic bag I had on hand. Then I slid it back into the burlap bag and put back what I took out. Really, no problems. I had this at 4 stars, but once I really worked with it and looked it over, I can say that I am pleased. Very happy that the rice is in a plastic bag and not just in burlap.I would consider this again depending on price. I was able to get a 15lb bag for $20 (on sale). I can get 1lb bags at local $Tree for 1.25 per lb, so I didnt really save any buying this.. but it saved me a trip.This page shows old reviews, so it may be beneficial to change the viewing option to see "most recent first".

This Royal Basmati rice cooks up fluffy, fragrant, and non‑sticky every time—just like restaurant rice at home. The aging makes a real difference in aroma and sweet flavor, and the grains stay nice and long instead of breaking or clumpingIt also offers fantastic value in bulk—15 lbs goes far and keeps well. Some find it’s slightly drier than jasmine rice, but I love that firmer texture with curries, pilafs, or stir‑friesOne minor downside: occasionally grains are a bit uneven length or one bag had bugs—but that was rare. Most of the time it’s top quality rice at a very good priceWould repurchase for everyday cooking. Perfect for biryani nights or bulk pantry stock.

I love the fragrance, the taste, texture and cook time. I'll definitely buy it again

Great taste and value will purchase again

Very good and tasteful.
