Near East Rice Pilaf Mix, Original, 6.09 oz Box

Taste and texture appreciated by all members of the family with enough in the package to provide adequate servings. It can also be easily "dressed up" with meat or vegetables. on the rare occasions we have extra, the left overs can be fried with whatever seasonings seem appropriate.

This rice pilaf is ridiculously easy to prepare and somehow tastes like you put in way more effort than you did. It cooks up fluffy and well-seasoned, with a great balance of flavor that isn't overpowering but definitely not bland. It's one of those reliable sides you can throw together on a busy night and instantly make dinner feel more complete. It pairs well with pretty much anything and always delivers consistent results. If you need a simple, flavorful side that doesn't require culinary gymnastics, this one's a winner.

excellent product. the rice always comes out perfect and it's more than just rice. mix this with vegetables and add a little tahini and lemon juice and it's wonderful. I know the salt content in prepared foods is usually high. but I don't eat boxed foods that often and this is worth it . delecious!

...this is faster to cook on stovetop than Rice-A-Roni. They both taste wonderful but this is a wee bit faster to prepare and cook and that is why I keep buying it.

We love this rice and have purchased it and used it for several years now. I CANNOT understand why we cannot get it at our local Walmart Store. It is one rice product that has no bad ingredients, like so many rice products do. PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The texture was a little mixed but that may have been cooking related. Some forkfuls were easy to chew while the next were a little more exhausting. Everything else about was good. I don't do pilaf often, but I may after getting this. We'll see . . .

I've been purchasing Near East Rice Pilaf for years. Easy prep, great taste. Price? All groceries could be cheaper!!

Great taste and texture. Adds a lot to a meal as a side or part of a casserole. wish theybdidnt use yeast extract. Other than that this is delish. I wish this brand did a gluten free version of this and chocken flavor.

the rice is nice, but its even better if you cook it with a broth instead of water or add a smashed garlic clove while you cook it. Its best if you do not open the lid until it done about 25 minutes

this is really good rice pilaf. three boxes were shipped to me in an envelope. the package looked like it had been run over by a truck. the boxes were smashed and had leaked out all in the envelope plus, i paid over $12 for shipping. never again!
