Jumped on a similar deal from Amazon a while back and it came in the plastic bag. Rice tasted different and didn't cook to the same consistency as the jute version. I'd stick with local stores for a household staple like rice.
Community Reviews
Royal basmati rice is the main draw here, with the deal landing at less than a dollar per pound and, after discounts, around the mid 20s for 30 pounds. The price is described as the best seen in about a year, and it fits everyday use for sides, biryani, and other savory dishes. Packaging is a recurring detail, with this version arriving in plastic bags with a faux jute look and a clear inner liner rather than true jute. The main cautions are that local club and Asian store prices can be close, and the brand is questioned for fragrance, grain length, and occasional chemical taste.
The deal can stack with payment and subscription savings, including potential credit card cashback and Subscribe & Save discounts.
The effective unit price comes out to less than one dollar per pound, which can help stretch a pantry budget.
The rice can be prepared with a simple routine of washing twice, using a 2:1 water ratio, and cooking in an Instant Pot for five minutes.
The rice may work well for coconut-based, fried fish, soy-based, tomato-based, and vinegar-based dishes rather than soup preparations.
The listing price and discount can be inconsistent, including cases where Subscribe & Save is missing or the displayed price changes from the advertised amount.
The packaging is reported as plastic with a fake jute-like texture, and some cooking results reportedly differ from a jute-bag version.
Organic labeling may be questionable, and organic does not reduce arsenic levels in rice according to the discussion.
Some prior experiences report a chemical taste even after rinsing, which led to avoiding this brand.
