  • Our take on the Royal Basmati Rice

    Royal Basmati Rice is an aged long-grain white rice sold in a 20 lb bag, aimed at households that cook Indian, Middle Eastern and South Asian food often. The grains cook up separate and non-sticky with the nutty aroma basmati is known for, and the bag is resealable, which matters at this size. It is gluten-free, vegan and kosher, and a serving is about 160 calories with no fat, sodium or sugar. Against smaller specialty brands it wins on bulk value and availability; against premium aged imports, some cooks find the aroma and grain length less consistent bag to bag.

    Questions and answers

    Is Royal Basmati Rice good for biryani?
    Yes. The long grains stay separate when soaked and cooked, which is what biryani needs. Rinse and soak for about 30 minutes first for the best result.
    How should I store a 20 lb bag?
    Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place, or move it to an airtight container. Rice can pick up moisture and pantry pests over months, so a tight lid helps.
    Is it gluten-free and vegan?
    Yes. It contains only basmati rice, with no gluten, dairy or animal products, and it is kosher.
    Does it cook quickly?
    It is not instant rice. It cooks in roughly 15 to 20 minutes after soaking, similar to other long-grain basmati.
    How does it compare with premium aged basmati?
    It costs less per pound and is easy to find, but premium aged brands tend to have longer grains and a stronger aroma. Royal is a solid everyday choice.
    Where is the Royal Basmati Rice cheapest?
    At Target, for $4.89, 56% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
