Our take on the BEN'S ORIGINAL Ready Rice Original Long Grain White Rice Pouch 8.8oz

Ben's Original Ready Rice is parboiled long grain white rice in a BPA-free microwave pouch that cooks in about 90 seconds. It needs no pot, no draining and no cleanup, which makes it a fast side or a base for stir-fries, bowls and skillet dinners. Against plain instant rice it keeps a firmer, more separate grain, and against boil-in-bag or stovetop rice it trades some texture for speed. It is vegetarian, low in fat and very low in sodium, with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
