    I'd recommend just making rice from scratch
  

*by P***2 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2021*

I had high hopes for this having tried another brand. Unfortunately this is very artifical and lacks flavour. It was a little stodgy and didn't compliment the dish I was cooking. A waste of time and money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Most tasty rice ever
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2020*

Unclench bens rice is tasty, easy to use. Open two side bits, put in microwave for 2 mins and done. Leave to cool before opening the rest or steam will get your fingers. Full instructions on packet as above. Easy to use and tasty. I've tried Tesco version to compare and there is no comparison. Tesco was tasteless. This is so yummy. Suitable to eat alone or as a side

    Golden Vegetable Microwave Rice
  

*by K***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2021*

I purchased this rice to try a different flavoured rice , and as it is microwave would be ideal for a quick dish. However i was not keen on this flavour and the rice tended to stick together and I don't like that texture.
