(6 pack) Ben's Original Ready Rice Spanish Style Flavored Rice, Easy Dinner Side, 8.8 Ounce Pouch

In any at home experience, I can only really compare Uncle Ben's Spanish Rice (UBSR) to the Spanish Rice served at restaurants. That rice is always a toss-up as to whether it's just a bland after-thought, or a great and flavorful accent to the main dish. Uncle Ben's Spanish rice takes a comfortable middle route. Texture and aroma reaches that restaurant high mark, though taste, out of the bag, can be somewhat bland. The thing is, UBSR can always have more spices easily added because having it precooked in a bag saves you time. UBSR can be a bit oily, but, that's OK because even rhat positively contributes to the taste. Overall, if you need Spanish Rice, I'd say Uncle Ben's Spanish Rice should be your "go-to" dish!

So I got into these Uncle Bens rice packs because they are super easy and heat up in the microwave in 90 seconds, cooked to perfection. I normally would not want to heat rice in plastic, but this product says BPA packaging. I've tried this spanish rice, the cheesy rice and the butter/garlic. This one is by far the best. I bought a can of the corn with poblano and red bell peppers in it, and added to the rice which was delicious and very flavorful,

I love these rice pouches. Put them in a microwave a couple of minutes or whatever it says on the package. They are great when not wanting to cook or clean dishes. Add some beef or leftover beef fat or both and throw other spices and herbs in of your choosing.

I have a hard time justifying the cost since the falvor profile mathches the great value. If they had one that was more authetic hispanic rice I could give it a better rating then this sticky tomoto sauce soaked substitute.

I was disappointed in Uncle Ben. I followed the directions and I wasn't very happy with the end result. The rice didn't seem like it cooked all the way, even though it was piping hot. It was kind of dry and didn't have much flavor.

I thought it was a little dry. It didn't have a lot of sauce on it. Which is okay? Because I don't like it hot but it wasn't even tasteful. The garden something? it's called that's the best for me so far.

I normally LOOOOOOOOOVE this rice but i just finished cooking it and it looked like this. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Can anyone tell me why?? Is it mold??? 😳 The expiration date isn't until March, though and i bought it today. 🤔

Bought for convenience but the clump of rice inside the pouch was rock hard and couldn't be separated before putting in microwave. After heated, the rice was still clumped and tasteless, didn't smell good either. Plus it was twice the price as the Great Value version. Never again.

The bag is cut open, exposing the food. More than likely uneatable.

The photo shows Ready Rice, but the description reads 8lbs of Great Value Pinto Beans.
