Royal basmati rice is valued for its aroma, taste, and decent texture when it arrives fresh, and the bulk price can be attractive, especially with coupons or Subscribe and Save. Some bags have cooked up well in rice cookers, and sealed storage or freezing is suggested to keep larger quantities fresh. The main concern is contamination, with repeated reports of bugs, worms, pantry moths, and web-like debris in some bags. A few also find the flavor dry, bland, or not like true Indian basmati, so it is best suited to shoppers comfortable inspecting and storing rice carefully.

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.

In reviews, 98 customers report receiving "infested bags with small bugs and white wiggly worms".

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.
