Minute Ready-to-Eat Chicken Flavored Rice vs Minute Ready-to-Eat Jasmine Rice

Both are Minute microwavable rice cups in two 4.4 oz portions, ready in one minute. The Jasmine Rice is the safer pick for most shoppers: it is plain, so it works as a side or a base, and it has far lower sodium (200mg vs 650mg) and no sugar. The Chicken Flavored Rice is the one to buy if you want the seasoning already in the cup and will eat it as a quick standalone side. Owners rate the Jasmine higher (4.7 from over 6,000 ratings vs 4.5 from about 1,800), and the cups and one-minute prep are the same on both.

• Choose the Chicken Flavored Rice if you want seasoned rice straight from the cup and don't plan to add your own sauce or seasoning.
• Choose the Jasmine Rice if you want a plain, lower-sodium base you can pair with any protein, curry or stir-fry.
