Folks comparing basmati with jasmine rice is like comparing Apples and oranges.

for starters, basmati rice has distinct smell and that's why it is called bas+mati = aromatic soil rice.

royal basmati is not the best one but it is a basmati rice with less auroma.

So your experience depends on what you planning to cook, this one is good for making vegetable rice, green peas rice, lemon rice, egg rice, scrambled egg rice.
But if you plan to make biryani then this one will disappoint, try different aromatic ones from Indian grocery store.
Yes, but costco carries it, 20lb is $19.99
Rest of Asia? This was about a deal on Basmati Rice in US.

Price of a 20 Pound bag is cheaper when compared to the Indian Grocery Stores.

if you have an aldi nearby you can now find hom mali quality
for about the same $1/lbs without having to bulk stock up;
https://www.aldi.us/en/products/p...ne-rice-1/
long grain jasmine and "basmati" are pretty interchangeable.

royal lacks the dry chewy starch and nutty fragrance of a real
india grown basmati (despite the authentic looking packaging)
leaving royal as a generic and rather bland rice like product.
i live near jackson heights ny which has an indian grocer on
every avenue, so trust me when i say; royal is NOT basmati.
i've been in indian grocers where a quarter of the store was
a hundred different rice sacks, and none were this brand.

You're correct. For others benefit, if someone prefers a distinct aroma coming off of their rice, I would recommend buying different rice. Even the best Basmati variant is still like a baby to those other aromatic variants.

Not sure about Indians, but for the rest of Asia, this is trash grade rice. Wife made me throw it out after the first cook. I can't much comment, I find all rice tasteless.

She and her friends all much prefer their Imperial Dragon brand rice.
Is that basmati or jasmine rice?

Jasmine. I'm not a rice connoisseur, so I'm not sure what it is that makes one better than another. We've bought Basmati, Jasmine, Millagrosa, US Golden, sticky, etc over the years, with varying degree of success across types.

That is to say, it's not just because it's Basmati that they don't seem to like it.
