Good rice

Nothing to complain about! It’s heatable rice for the microwave, you get exactly what you expect. The pouch is very convenient, so it is good when in a rush.

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.

Good shelf stable find

The rice is slightly different than fresh. I like it because I can have a ready made product in my pantry in case of a storm to eat with my beans or tuna. I like the Carolina brand in general too.

Easy weeknight side

These are a great weeknight side for when I’m drained and need to eat quickly. There is enough to have dinner and lunch the next day. The texture is great particularly coming from the microwave.

Quick and convenient

I like to keep this product on hand for the days I didn't plan well and need rice in a hurry. Good flavor and texture. I would love if they had more flavors to choose from as I would stock them all.
