Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice, 8.8 Ounce, Pack of 6, Ready to Eat, Microwavable, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

I first got this Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice, Ready to Eat Microwaveable Cooked Rice, 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 6) as individual pouches (rather than the 6 pack as in this listing) from a regular local brick & mortar grocery store/supermarket to try out before buying it in bulk from Amazon, or whatever. I wanted to try this turmeric rice because I had previously tried a couple of the other Tasty Bite Organic varieties (namely, the Tasty Bite Organic Madras Lentils and Tasty Bite Organic Channa Masala ) and I had LOVED them. Especially because, UNLIKE most pre-made (like other boxed of frozen meals) Indian foods, the Tasty Bite organic foods I've had so far have NOT usually too spicy for me (I get heartburn & acid reflux among other issues, one of the reasons I don't like/can't tolerate spicy-hot food) but yet they are still incredibly flavorful, seasoned and absolutely DELICIOUS! I am of Asian-Indian descent (my parents immigrated to the US from India in their 20s during the late 1960s and early 1970s and I was born & raised in the US) and like the majority (if not all?) of people in & from India and Asia in general, rice itself is pretty much a daily staple. So much so that, rather than making rice manually (like on the stove) most of us have a separate appliance (a rice cooker) specifically for making the day's rice, though it can be used for other things as well. For instance, I've also used the rice cooker for making a smaller quantity of "varan", a kind of dal (an Indian lentil soup/porridge) made with yellow split pigeon peas (called "toor dal") and yellow split & skinned pulses/lentils (called moong dal or mung dal) when I don't want to drag out the 6 quart slow-cooker with the heavy ceramic insert. I have also used the rice cooker for making khichdi (en dot wikipedia dot org/Khichdi_(dish) ) a meal in South Asian cuisine made of rice and dal (lentils) pre-mixed and with numerous variations. That being said, although of course, I do eat (and have eaten pretty much all my life!) homemade rice, to be honest, I've always preferred the fluffy, and buttery-tasting Basmati rice from restaurants (usually Indian and sometimes Middle Eastern places) in which every grain of rice is separate & an "al dente" kind of chewy, rather than homemade rice, which, in spite of trying/having tried all of the various tips & suggestions that I've heard of/know about, to replicate the aforementioned restaurant style, it still inevitably often ends up too soft and all clumped together, when its made at home in the rice cooker, even if its good Basmati rice. Which is one of the reasons why I LOVE this Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice . Because it tastes similar, if not VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL to the delicious rice I've had at (or from) Indian & Middle Eastern restaurants, with BARELY any time or effort, and at a fraction of the cost of ordering an entire meal, as well as pay the delivery fees & tip (and since I'm unable to drive due to disabilities, delivery is usually the only option to get restaurant food!) on top of that, from one of those places. Not to mention that, aside from the fact that restaurant delivery services (like ÜberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub, etc.) often have a minimum order amount which even multiple side orders of rice would not get to, its also a waste to order just rice from a restaurant — and yet, spending $12-$15 or more on an entrée each time, just to get the rice, would become WAY too expensive. But thanks to Tasty Bite , rather than having to pay for an pricey restaurant entrée, which in all likelihood, is also made with non-organic and unhealthy & unethical ingredients (canola/soybean/vegetable oils, conventional GMO produce, factory farm meats/poultry/eggs, farm-raised seafood, etc.) that I would prefer to avoid as much as possible JUST to get the fluffy restaurant rice with it.........................INSTEAD I can have THIS Organic Turmeric Rice which tastes almost the same (well, minus turmeric seasoning & color, which the plain white rice in restaurants does NOT have!) as Indian or Middle Eastern takeout/delivery rice and I can have it with whatever home-cooked food using organic and healthy (or healthier) ingredients (like olive oil instead of GMO soybean/canola/vegetable oils) that I've made for dinner. Even better is that, with just a few easy (and relatively cheap!) additions like green peas or other veggies, almonds, cashews or other ingredients, this Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice basically tastes like a fancy restaurant pilau. Other than the Maya Kaimal Foods Organic Turmeric & Cumin Surekha Rice and the MTR Jeera (Cumin) Rice there is NOT ONE SINGLE rice I've tried/had so far except for the Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice that comes ANYWHERE close to the same or similar texture and flavor of the rice from Indian & Middle Eastern restaurants, WITHOUT having to pay for expensive restaurant food and all the associated charges (delivery fees, a decent tip, etc.) — and at times, when I'm in the mood for the fluffy & buttery separated-grain restaurant style rice (usually when I'm eating my brother's salmon, which I think goes PERFECTLY with it!) but I don't feel like having cumin, THIS turmeric rice is the BEST (and ONLY!) alternative and its EXTREMELY fast and easy to make. Just tear a small opening (like maybe an inch or two) in the top of the pouch and then pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds, and voilà! That being said, since I've been consciously trying to avoid (or at least minimize) the use of microwaves, it'd be nice if Tasty Bite offered instructions for alternative methods of heating (like on the stove) for those who either don't have or would prefer to NOT use a microwave, along with the microwave directions. But its also not that big a deal either. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to heat food up on the stove, though it would have been/would be a nice gesture for Tasty Bite to include stove directions anyway. With the exception of that, my only other real quibble is that I wish that there was more rice included in each pouch. Because depending on a person's appetite, the amount in each pouch is barely enough for more than one person to have a filling meal. It would be great if Tasty Bite would consider offering this rice in a "family size" pouch so that if someone wants enough rice for their entire family, they don't have to open & heat up multiple pouches individually, but rather, can heat up one family-size packet of rice for everyone to eat from, and the smaller-quantity pouches can be used when they don't need as much rice. All in all, I LOVE, LOVE this Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice . In fact, I love it SO much and was having it so often that buying the individual packets from the local brick & mortar stores, no longer even made sense anymore, and so I started ordering it in bulk through Subscribe & Save. Now I get a box of 6 packets every month, and I have this rice with pretty much EVERYTHING that I'd ordinarily have regular white rice with. Like as I mentioned, my brother's salmon, and teriyaki, and sometimes BBQ chicken, as well as different kinds of curry. On occasion, I even eat this rice virtually plain, with little salt & butter (even though it already has it, when eating it plain, I add a little bit more!), and organic plain unsweetened yogurt, usually Wallaby Organic Aussie Smooth Whole Milk Plain Yogurt (also called "curds" as well as "dahi" or "dhai" in Marathi-speaking and Konkani-speaking families [which my family are!] and maybe others!) with organic tomato, and its DELICIOUS with this turmeric rice!! In short, if you are looking for an absolutely DELICIOUS and ORGANIC easy-to-make rice, look no further than Tasty Bite Organic Turmeric Rice !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS!!!!!!

I love this product. As a bachelor, I hate to cook, especially with subtle spices (too much patience and skill required for my low cooking level). This product provides nice flavor and reasonable nutrition (only 250 mg sodium for one serving (half a packet -- most such rice has far more sodium). It costs about twice the price of similarly packaged (heat and eat 8.8 oz. precooked) various varieties of white rice, brown rice, etc) generic rice, but if you like tumeric rice and convenience, it's worth it. You have to watch the price as Amazon's price varies widely for the same thing. I wanted to address some of the most common complaints, as someone very familiar with this product. 1), Only getting 1 package instead of the advertised 6. This is an Amazon problem that shows up from time to time on such items (including this one for me), but when I called customer service on this issue for this product, they were VERY good about it and took care of it. Clearly Amazon should fix this re their processes (as I pointed out to them), but at least they make good on it with no hassle beyond calling in and reporting it. 2). Product being bad/spoiled. I've yet to run into this on ANY such packaged precooked organic rice product of any brand, and I eat a LOT of such rice over time. However, given the nature of the packages and the seals (easily tearable for convenience), it's NOT hard to imagine how this comes up occasionally, especially given the variance in packing and shipping. Knowing Amazon, just report this if it happens and you should ALWAYS smell your food before consuming it, as your nose is the best safety net for such issues which could happen with ANY food (even canned) over time. 3). Product being dry / clumpy. This is a legit complaint with, in my experience, an easy fix. MOST such precooked rice (of all varieties I've tried) will be inconsistent re how dry / clumpy a batch is (apparently they make a LOT and put that into a LOT of packets at a time). My fix is to pay attention to it, and add a little water (just flicked from my fingers from wetting from a faucet) a few to several times. Then if I cook it 10 to 15 seconds at a time in the microwave and use a fork to spear the clumps and break them up each time, it's easily resolved and ends up being FINE, after 2 or 3 times. Also, if I only eat half a package (1 serving), I'm sure to squeeze the remaining half well and ensure I break it up well, since such clumping tends to get worse sitting in the refrigerator a day or three -- but if I break it up when putting it in the fridge, it's generally fine if I sprinkle a little water on it if small clumps remain. You can get such rice cheaper in big batches, BUT, it's not precooked and in my experience it's MUCH higher in sodium. So like everything -- trade-offs. But for bachelors more in the mode of chop and heat than real cooking, this is great.

Good food and bout all at $15 discounted price. I do not understand why Amazon would only allow me one box per an order. I had to purchase daily. This is the only food I can eat and not readily available in stores. I struggle to find it, and once I found it in Amazon I attempted to purchase all in stock of a discounted price, and was systematically limited by Amazon. Am watching for discount so that I can replenish before I run out and have nothing to eat. Gluten free ginger rice is my only food due to severe allergies and other food intolerances. Easy cook and tasty! Thank you for this product!

TastyBite absolutely nailed it with these organic basmati microwavable rice packs. I keep a stash in my pantry at all times because they’re the ultimate “I don’t feel like cooking but still want real food” lifesaver. Each pouch is the perfect amount for two people (three if you’re splitting it as a side), and after 90 seconds in the microwave you get perfectly cooked, fluffy basmati rice every single time. The flavor is on-point delicious — light, fragrant, and honestly better than some stovetop rice I’ve had. I use these constantly with my red beans and rice, white beans and rice, crawfish étouffée… basically anytime I need legit good rice without the hassle. Boom. Ninety seconds. Voila. I buy them by the dozen because running out is simply not an option. Highly recommend.

This is the worst food I've ever eaten. It smells like disgusting chemicals when it's cooking, and tastes the same. It is sooooo awful. I've never had anything good from Tasty Bites, so I'm not going to try anything else.

This has a nice flavor but it's too much Chilli powder for me to enjoy. I know I can't handle much heat. I had hopes that since the Chilli powder was the last ingredient that I could handle it. My border Collie dog loves it so instead of donating my remaining 5 I will feed them to my dog. I love the Coconut Rice from this company & want to try other varieties. Fortunately thier coconut rice was offered individually for a decent price & it was nice to try one before buying 6. So far the other flavors aren't offered individually except a few at crazy high prices. The same with the variety packs. I would love to try so many of thier flavors but don't want to buy 6 at once until I know I like them. I get 3 to 4 servings from the same size packages of coconut rice. It is so easy to throw in the microwave & in a few minutes I have a nice dish of rice perfectly cooked & fluffy. I have a lot of health problems & depend on home delivery & easy to prepare. If you like the spices in this flavor then you will probably like this. I am going to try other products from this company hoping to find a few more varieties I can enjoy.

Not much to say — love this rice! Tastes great and super quick and easy to make when I can’t be bothered to pull out the rice cooker. Perfect amount for me to split between 2+ meals for the base of some protein and veggies.
