Our take on the Ben's Original Ready Rice - Spanish Style

Ben's Original Ready Rice Spanish Style is a pre-cooked parboiled long grain rice pouch seasoned with tomato, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, chili and paprika. It heats in the microwave in about 90 seconds, so it works as a fast side for tacos, burritos, chicken or eggs. Against boxed Spanish rice mixes it skips the skillet and the 20-plus minutes of simmering, but it is a single 8.8 oz pouch, so it feeds about two people as a side. The rice is parboiled and lightly seasoned rather than a from-scratch tomato rice, and it carries added vitamins and minerals.

Questions and answers

How do you cook Ben's Original Ready Rice Spanish Style?
Tear the pouch a couple of inches and microwave it standing up for about 90 seconds. It is fully cooked, so you can also empty it into a skillet to warm and slightly dry it.
How many servings are in one pouch?
The pouch holds 8.8 oz of cooked rice, roughly two side servings. Plan on two pouches for a family of four.
Is it spicy?
No. It has chili pepper, paprika and spices for a savory Spanish-style flavor, but the heat level is mild.
Does it contain gluten or dairy?
The listed ingredients are rice, vegetables, oil, seasonings, vitamins and minerals, with no wheat or dairy called out. Check the package for allergen statements if you are sensitive.
How does it compare with boxed Spanish rice mix?
The boxed mix needs a skillet, water and about 20 to 25 minutes of simmering. This pouch is ready in the microwave in about 90 seconds, but you give up some control over texture and seasoning.
Does it need refrigeration?
No. The pouch is shelf-stable until opened. Refrigerate any leftovers and use them within a few days.
