Before the "bugs!" comments come in, rice farms cannot guarantee 100% that their crops are free of weevils and their eggs. When buying any brand of rice from any retailer, you need to freeze the rice for a few days before storing it. This will kill the eggs to prevent them from hatching.

I get the 25lb bags of jasmine rice from Sam's Club. It's about 17ish dollars. Though, we go through a lot of rice being half Filipino family. If you don't do a lot of rice, good price. If you do, not so good as it's almost doubled.

I'm Asian and eat rice 24/7. Jasmine is generally considered the ideal rice, soft and fluffy. Long grain is supposedly healthier but a bit firmer and "drier". Basmati grains are thinner and is also fluffy but has a different mouthfeel than Jasmine. I only like it in Indian dishes like biryani but it's a no for me on plain basmati. Medium grain rice like calrose is similar to jasmine but not as highly regarded. I don't even know how to explain the difference because calrose is also soft and fluffy but it's like jasmine is a diamond and calrose is an emerald. They're both precious gems but a diamond is a diamond, y'know? And that concludes my rice TedTalk. Thanks for listening.

BS. I've *never* had bugs in my rice before and I constantly buy 15-20 lb bags.

Decent price if one must have 2lbs size (maybe for small studio apartment). If larger size is permitted, Iberia Jasmine 10lbs is actually a better deal per lb. I have been getting this for my picky parents (and myself) and it's comparable to the 20-50lbs bag purchased at Chinese grocery shops. Hope it helps!

not a deal. LOL got to any Asian store and get 50lbs for $45'ish bucks. break this price point down and you are paying like $65 for the same 50 lb.

More likely the rice warehouses rather than the farms.

Always sounded like a Chinese takeout place to me.

uh, do I have to buy 50lbs of it to get it that cheap?

Not everyone wants 50 lbs of rice at once.

At the local Wal-Mart, 5-pound Jasmine is $6 (already a better deal than this), and 20-pound is $17. The local Asian grocery store also has 25-pound Jasmine and above for around $1 per pound.

This is more expensive per pound than the usual everyday prices, and the one and only reason to get this is if you need a tiny 2-pound bag.

So why the hell is this a front-page deal? Since when does "regular price for product" qualify as a slick deal?

Not a good deal. Unless you need a small bag . Costco Organic Basmati rice is cheaper and is 3 times better rice.
Basmati is basically eating needles when you're used to the good stuff

how do you quantify the goodness of rice?

jasmine is my go-to rice for serving as a simple side to a dish. it feels like rice is really a preference thing? (outside of using specifics varietals for structural purposes, eg risotto or sushi)

Basmati grains are thinner and is also fluffy but has a different mouthfeel than Jasmine. I only like it in Indian dishes like biryani but it's a no for me on plain basmati.

Good analogy. I'm Asian too and will only eat Jasmine. However, there are only me and my hubby and a 25lbs bag from Sam's will last us over 6 months for $18ish.
