This Royal basmati is valued for its low effective price and, when fresh, its taste and texture for everyday rice dishes like biryani. The deal can drop further with coupons or Subscribe and Save, and the rice has been described as fresh, dry, and easy to cook in a rice cooker. The main concern is contamination, with repeated reports of bugs, worms, pantry moths, and web-like debris in some bags. A few also prefer Costco, Sam's, or a local South Asian grocery for better quality and packaging.

  • Subscribe and Save plus a $5 off $25 grocery coupon reportedly brought the total to $20.49.

  • The rice reportedly cooked well in a Cuckoo cooker using a 1:1 rice-to-water ratio with immediate fluffing.

  • Some purchases reportedly arrived fresh and stayed good after storage in sealed containers.

  • The effective price after coupon and cashback reportedly came out to about $0.74 per pound.

  • Reviews and experiences reportedly describe infested bags with small bugs, white wiggly worms, or ant-like insects.

  • The rice reportedly tasted unlike true Indian basmati and was described as dry and flavorless.

  • Some bags reportedly caused pantry moth or other pest contamination, including flies on opening and web-like material inside.

  • S&S availability reportedly ended, which can remove the coupon-driven savings from the deal.

This isnt uncommon when it comes to rice. They are weevils or meal moths. They lay eggs inside of the grains. If you freeze the rice for a couple of days it will kill them. When you wash your rice, the grains with eggs in them will float, if there were maggots, that are now dead. They will float. This is why you always wash your rice. I always freeze my 25# bags of jasmine rice in my deep freezer for a couple of days.
I've never seen that. Ever.

Dry and flavorless. Bought it the last time it was on special and am going through it so slowly. Minute Rice is better than this.

Wash well at least three times. Pesticide usage is extensive and not regulated in India.

The Indian stores have a brand called dawat its deff better. Not sure if its sold online and understand mot everyone has a indian store near by.
Thanks! Actually found it on Amazon. I picked up the "Daawat Ultima Basmati White Rice - 10 lb Bag". It's a bit pricey but it looks like the rice my Indian coworker uses. My wife wants to attempt Chicken Biryani soon. I'll cook this with some saffron.

Folks be careful nothing from India is genuine these days.
They found every major Indian brand including high quality India gate Basmati rice with very high content of pesticides and lots of brands with plastic rice mixed with real rice sometimes around 60%
Don't trust Indian brand for anything.

This rice is total crap. Only buy it if you dont know what true Indian basmati is supposed to taste like.
Funny, I honestly believe this is the best rice Ive ever bought in a store.
