Does this rice need rinsing or soaking?

Rinse until the water runs mostly clear to remove surface starch. A 20 to 30 minute soak helps the grains cook long and separate.

How should I cook it for fluffy grains?

Use about 1.5 parts water to 1 part rice, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low until the water is absorbed. Rest it off the heat, then fluff with a fork.

Is it good for biryani?

Yes. The long grains hold up in layered biryani and pilaf, especially if you parboil them only partway before layering.

How should I store a 20 lb bag?

Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Transferring it out of the bag helps keep the rice fresh and free of pantry pests.

How does it compare with premium aged basmati?

It is a solid everyday basmati. Premium aged basmatis typically bring a stronger aroma and firmer, longer grains, while this one is milder and more forgiving on cost.

Is it plain white rice or parboiled?

It is white basmati rice, not parboiled or brown. Cook it like regular white rice.

Our take on the Royal White Basmati Rice

Royal White Basmati Rice is an aged long-grain rice sold in a 20 lb bag. It cooks up as separate, slender grains with the dry, nutty aroma basmati is known for, and it holds its shape in pilafs and biryanis. It suits households that cook rice often and want a large bag of a mainstream basmati brand. Against premium aged basmatis it is a solid everyday choice rather than a top-tier one, and the bag is large enough that storage matters.
