- How does this compare with basmati or jasmine rice?
- It is a neutral long-grain rice, not an aromatic one. Basmati and jasmine bring distinct aroma and flavor, while this rice stays plain and works in almost any dish.
- Is it good for fried rice and pilafs?
- Yes. The extra-long grains stay separate when cooked and chilled, which is what fried rice and pilafs need. Cook it a little firm and cool it before frying.
- Is Mahatma rice gluten-free and kosher?
- Yes. It is labeled gluten-free, kosher and vegetarian, and it is enriched with vitamins and iron.
- How should I cook it?
- Follow the package ratio of water to rice and keep the pot covered on low heat. Avoid stirring during cooking, then fluff with a fork and let it rest.
- How should I store the 80-ounce bag?
- The bag is not resealable. Transfer the rice to an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry place to protect it from moisture and pests.
- Does it contain whole-grain rice?
- No. It is enriched white rice, so it has less fiber than brown rice. Pair it with vegetables, beans or other whole grains for more fiber.
