Our take on the Minute White Rice Microwaveable Cups, 8.8 oz (Pack of 6)

Minute White Rice Microwaveable Cups are single-serve, fully cooked long-grain white rice in 8.8 oz cups that heat in about a minute in the microwave. They are a shelf-stable shortcut for a side dish or a quick base for a meal, with no measuring or cleanup. The 6-pack is the common format; per-cup pricing varies by store, so compare the unit price rather than the pack price.
