- Is this instant rice?
- No. It is regular milled white basmati and needs to be rinsed, soaked if you like, and simmered or steamed.
- How should I cook it?
- Rinse until the water runs clear, soak for about 20 to 30 minutes, then simmer covered at roughly a 1 to 1.5 water-to-rice ratio until tender. Rest it off the heat before fluffing.
- How many servings are in the bag?
- A 10 lb bag holds about 22 to 23 cups of dry rice, roughly 45 to 50 half-cup dry servings, depending on portion size.
- Is it good for biryani?
- Yes. Long-grain basmati is the usual choice for biryani and pilaf because the grains stay separate when cooked properly.
- How should I store the bag?
- Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place, or move it to an airtight container to protect against moisture and pantry pests.
- Is it gluten-free?
- Yes. Plain rice is naturally gluten-free, but check the bag for any shared-facility allergen notes.
