How do you prepare the rice?

Microwave the cup for about one minute, then stir and serve. The rice is already fully cooked, so you are only reheating it.

How much rice is in each cup?

It is sold ready to serve, but Minute's directions call for heating in the microwave. Cold, it is firm and less aromatic.

Is the cup recyclable?

Minute describes the single-serving cups as BPA-free and recyclable.

Our take on the Minute Ready-to-Eat Basmati Rice, Microwaveable Rice Cups, 4.4 oz, 2 Count

Minute Ready to Serve Basmati Rice is fully cooked basmati in single-serving microwave cups that heat in about one minute. The rice is aromatic with a slightly nutty flavor, and it is gluten-free, non-GMO verified, cholesterol-free and made without artificial ingredients or preservatives. It suits office lunches, quick sides and rice bowls where cooking from dry rice is too slow. Against pouch or boil-in-bag rice, the cups give tighter portions and no cleanup, but you pay for that convenience and get less rice per serving than a standard pouch.
