Review: Fast and delicious - These rice packets take 90 seconds to cook and are wonderful. Squish the packet, put some pats of butter on top, and in a minute and a half you have delicious rice in the microwave. My favorite is this Basmati rice but I also like one other one. The more that's in them, the less I like them. Add the butter before microwaving..You'll be sold on the taste and ease of preparation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need to be more specific as this covers every ucle ben's rice. is the ben's original ready rice pouch basmati rice parboiled? i'm on low fodmap diet**
A: I looked up low fodmap diets and whole grains, including rice are foods that will not cause digestive problems, and Ready Rice makes the preperation much easier.

**Q: How long will it take to heat up on the dashboard of a 2014 Land Rover on a hot Summer day?**
A: Define a hot summer day!  If you put it there by 8 am and keep the vehicle closed up it might be ready about lunch time.

**Q: Uncle bens ready rice Spanish style package said expired 30 days ago would it still be good**
A: That might be a question for the company. Expectation dates are mysterious. But the package is sealed and unless it's puffy it is probably ok

**Q: is this rice parboiled? not simply patially cooked....but parboiled? i'm on a low fodmap diet and cannot do parboiled. sorry uncle ben**
A: This rice is completely cooked. It's just like you cooked it at home, let it cool, and packaged it. You just warm this up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious and Fast!!
*by G***S on January 6, 2026*

Pros/Cons: I like Basmati Rice in both original bulk options and convenience packets like this one. There are times when I don't want to cook for others, but still want to have a quick meal that I can add vegetables or leftover chicken for a lunch or dinner just for me. It's a good color, smells delicious, tastes great, and ready in minutes. Health is important, and this rice is good for those with dietary restrictions due to kidney issues. I serve it with herbs and healthy fats as an alternative to using potatoes or other starches. It's a lovely option, especially for individuals. More economical when bought in different forms that require a rice cooker for larger families, but value is more than just price, I enjoy the simplicity when it's just for me and/or my partner.
