Review: Maybe I was just really hungry, but this rice actually smelled amazing while I was cooking it! Most rice doesn’t impress me nasally (basmati or not), but this particular batch lived up to it’s name completely. Basmati literally translates as “Queen of Fragrance,” ya know.
The taste, on the other hand, is nothing but bland grain taste. And this is fine. As a fairly priced organic basmati, this rice serves as a base to any dish you might cook up. It cooks quick, comes out tender and retains a slight stickiness which comes in handy when you eat rice dishes with chopsticks as often as I like to. I’ve paid upwards of seven dollars for a two pound bag of inorganic basmati before. Remind me to stock up the next time I am at TJ’s.
