Convenient

This went over well, it was very easy to prepare and full of flavor. It did not taste like your average microwaved rice packs. Definitely a wonderful weeknight dinner side dish.

Naturally good

Carolina Ready to Heat Rice brings restaurant-quality rice to the table in just 90 seconds. Each microwavable 8.8 oz pouch is made with simple, recognizable ingredients—no preservatives and no artificial flavors, so a wholesome side or meal base is always within reach. The line spans everyday staples and globally inspired flavors, all Non-GMO Project Verified and certified gluten-free. Jasmine offers soft, fragrant long-grain rice for any cuisine, while Basmati delivers light, aromatic grains ideal for curries and pilafs. Jasmine Cilantro Limón adds bright, zesty herb-and-lime notes perfect for tacos and bowls, and Jasmine Garlic & Olive Oil pairs savory garlic with extra-virgin olive oil for a Mediterranean touch. Yellow Rice brings Spanish-style seasoning with turmeric, onion, and garlic, and New Orleans-style Red Beans & Rice combines tender red beans and long-grain rice with a smoky, mildly spiced kick. Keep a few pouches in the pantry and dinner practically makes itself.

Easy quick meal option

Very nice option if needing to make something last minute. Quick and was good tasting also. They don't have a ton of flavor options but still has good basics.

Very convenient

This product is great for when I don't want to bring out the rice cooker! This saves a lot of time and energy. I like the texture of the rice, and it is better than others I have tried. I bought a couple since one pack is 2 servings, and I feed 5-6 people every night.

Easy and yummy

This was a great addition to a meal. I made pork carnitas in the slow cooker, then served with this rice. Made a quick and delicious meal for a busy night.
