I recently purchased the Authentic Royal Naturally Aged Long Grain Indian White Basmati Rice, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. This 15 lb. bag is not only a fantastic value but also delivers top-notch quality every time.
The first thing I noticed was the incredible aroma. As soon as you open the bag, you can tell this is authentic basmati rice. The grains are long, slender, and perfectly aged, which is key to achieving that distinctive fragrance and flavor.
When cooked, the rice is consistently fluffy and separates beautifully, making it perfect for a wide variety of dishes, from biryanis and pilafs to simple steamed rice. The texture is just right—soft yet firm enough to hold up in more complex recipes.
I also appreciate the care that has gone into aging this rice naturally, which really enhances the taste and overall experience. It's a cut above the rest in terms of flavor and quality, and I find myself reaching for it again and again.
Whether you’re cooking an elaborate Indian feast or just need a dependable, high-quality rice for everyday meals, the Authentic Royal Basmati Rice is an excellent choice. I highly recommend it to anyone who values great-tasting, authentic basmati rice.

Then I wanted to look over the plastic bag within the burlap sack. In order to pull it out I had to pour out some rice. Glad I did this because once in a bowl (2 quart size), I put my nose to it and could smell the rice just fine. There's that aroma! After I pulled out the plastic bag with remainder of rice, I looked it over for holes, bugs, and debris. No bugs, no debris. I did see some tiny holes. Very small, and I could tell that they were/are most likely puncture marks from the rice. Not many, but enough for me to double bag it with another plastic bag I had on hand. Then I slid it back into the burlap bag and put back what I took out. Really, no problems. I had this at 4 stars, but once I really worked with it and looked it over, I can say that I am pleased. Very happy that the rice is in a plastic bag and not just in burlap.
I would consider this again depending on price. I was able to get a 15lb bag for $20 (on sale). I can get 1lb bags at local $Tree for 1.25 per lb, so I didnt really save any buying this.. but it saved me a trip.
