 Basmati Primo August 19, 2010

This rice is a Himalaya Mt. range crop. It arrived in a hemp bag. It has nutrition information on a tag stringed to it. However, there is no instructions for preparation. It is wonderfully aromatic. It has taken some experimentation to cook it. At first I measured probably too much water and seemed flaky. However, by decreasing the measure of water to rice, I have found it best, because it tastes firm and somewhat chewy. Bon Appetite.
 Very good rice April 7, 2010
Jean Nicholson (Rio, Wisconsin)
I've never had Basmati rice before. So I really have nothing to compare to. But, I do love rice. I've always enjoyed jasmine. This was even better. I enjoyed this rice immensely. Some have mentioned flavor from the bag. I did not have this issue. Since 10 lbs is a lot of rice I did immediately put into glass covered jars. When I need to replenish I will not hesitate to purchase this rice again.
 Aroma overpowered by bag, rice stale April 5, 2010

I should have listened to the negative reviews, but I thought they had experienced a fluke... perhaps the bags ruptured during transport and caused the problems they reported? Surely the positive reviews outweighed the negative. Well, my bag arrived intact and undamaged but the inner bag was, as stated by others, unsealed and exposed to the air. This might have been good rice when it originally shipped from the vendor, but by time it left the distribution center and arrived at my door the rice was stale, tainted by the odor of the bag, and inedible by my standards. I eat rice every day, but I will not be eating this rice.
I like the rice, it's the packaging they need to work on February 20, 2010

The rice is good. We've been eating Basmati rice for a long time, and before finding this on Amazon we've purchased all our rice at the local grocery store in those small single meal packages.
I read the reviews on here, so was aware of the packaging problem when I received my first order. Just as everyone had written, packaging was very poor. Due to the packaging issues, I decided to transfer the rice into a sealed container. I recommend doing this for any bulk product, since you'll want to seal anything you'll be storing for more than a week. However, even though I was aware of the packaging issues, I still accomplished to spill a couple ounces of rice all over the kitchen counter and floor. That's how poor the packaging is! It's almost as if someone was playing some trick on me, because I poored almost all the rice into the container and thought it went quite well. No real problems, so I figure these other people probably just happened to get a bad bag. So when I got down to the last couple ounces, I thought it would be easier to pull the plastic bag out (which is inside the mesh sack) and pour the remainder into the container. Guess what? A hole at the very BOTTOM of the plastic bag. Believe me when I say, a couple ounces of rice is a lot of work to clean up.
I must say, though, that after transferring the rice to the container, I smelled this wonderful aroma. I've never actually smelled the scent of rice before, and this was pleasant. The rice cooked just as well as any other rice we've prepared, and it had the same hint of taste as the aroma. Very good rice for our common Indian curriies and Thai stir fry dishes.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the packaging.
 Problem still not fixed February 16, 2010

I read some reviews of poor packaging on this item. I thought by now the problem would have been addressed and corrected. Um... WRONG! The rice is contained within an open plastic bag inside the potato sack. When I opened it, only a portion of the plastic bag was closed while half of the opening was left open exposing the rice to the odor of the potato sack. Are you guessing that when you order the rice that maybe the problem will be fixed???... you might be right... and you might be wrong. Do you feel lucky?
