TAJ Premium 1121 Basmati Rice, Extra Long Grain Basmati Rice from India | 10lbs

This is the real deal! Extra-long grain, good color, great flavor!

This is the longest grain rice I’ve used. The rice does not stick together and is flavorful.

This rice has an exceptionally long and somewhat thin grain, probably twice the length of traditional white rice. The flavor is what you'd expect from a good basmati with the characteristic popcorn aroma as it cooks. It cooks up perfectly in my rice cooker and retains firm, individual grains. There is a very subtle golden tint to it, more noticeable prior to cooking. I'm completely satisfied with the flavor, appearance and texture. The only thing I'm not that happy with is that the bag does not feature a zip lock or other means of resealing. In the past I've purchased my basmati in the 20 lb. burlap bags with the zipper tops which are handy for storage. I'd recommend this be stored in canisters since the packaging material is sort of slick and stiff which makes it hard to reseal even when using clips or ties. The rice itself is excellent.

I've tried a lot of different basmati rice, but this is one of my absolute favorites! The grain is so long and arromatic and cooks so well. I would have given it 5 stars, but it's a little bit expensive for the quantity that you receive.

I will never buy grocery store quality basmati rice again. The grains of this rice are a soft gold which surprised me. Not white. However, when you cook it it is white. Cooked grains look to be about an inch long. I have never measured, but that is a good guess.I was careful to buy a rice that does not come in a burlap bag. Rice in a burlap bag tastes like burlap and I cannot stand that taste. Even when there is a plastic bag holding the rice in the burlap bag it tastes bad. There is no problem with that with this wonderful tasting rice.I will be buying this rice again.

The rice was very clean straight out of the bag. We rinsed it 3 times, and there was not a speck at even the first rinsing. It is a beautiful long grain -- not one piece went through the strainer when rinsing. The rice itself is delicious! Each grain of rice was individual and very flavorful. Not only that, but this company is really special. I mislaid the box the product came in, and thought that it had not arrived. I got a refund without question, and then found the box. It was not possible to have the refund returned (I tried several times) but the company was very supportive and just suggested that I give the money to a coronavirus relief fund (I plan to contribute to a food distribution non-profit in New York).

This is the rice I’ve been looking for! It’s extra long and delicious. Note: this is a very large bag of rice!

This rice lacks fragrance and flavorI've been cooking Basmati rice when I first met up with some fine Persian ladies at the Sorbonne during the early 1970s. They taught me how to make rice in Persian style. Since then I've always used the following brands: Lal Quilla, Tilda and Elephants brands. They all tasted good. This brand, Taj, the rice is off color and the flavor is poor. NOT GOOD at all and I ended up giving it to my neighbor. To replace it I'll drive over an hour to my nearest India/Pakistani market where I can "smell" the product prior to sale.
