Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati is fully cooked basmati rice in a microwavable pouch, sold in a family-size pack. It heats in about two minutes in the microwave or in a skillet, so there is no boiling, draining or cleanup. The grains are long and separate with a mild, lightly nutty aroma, and it is vegetarian, low in sodium and free of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. It suits weeknight cooks who want a fast rice side for curries or roasted meats, though it costs more per serving than dry basmati and is less fragrant than rice cooked from scratch.
