Outstandingly simple to make!
Tilda Authentic Steamed Basmati Rice is super simple to make. You have two choices, microwave or in a skillet. It's presteamed, so all you have to do is warm it up. I chose to do it in the skillet, adding a little oil and the fried onions normally used in green bean casserole. It came out delicious, light, fluffy and I can't believe how quick and easy it was to make. This product should be great for college kids. Super easy. You can add tuna or Chicopee veggies for a quick and filling meal. This rice seems to be lighter than normal rice. I really enjoyed it. Already bought more. Will give some to my college kids. I would suggest that the company put a picture of the rice on the package. By passing by I would have not guessed there was rice in it. I'm very glad I tried it and recommend it.

Easy to prepare, nice flavor
I have used several pre-cooked packaged rice brands before because I like how easy and fast they are to prepare. I usually use the pre-cooked rice in recipes or as a side dish. The Tilda Steamed Basmati rice is very easy to prepare in the microwave and the package contains two servings. You just have to squeeze the package with the rice to break the rice up, tear the package open and put it in the microwave. The rice has a nice flavor and I like that the rice doesn't have any artificial ingredients. The basmati rice is light and fluffy and has a light flavor. I really recommend this rice.

Insipid Rice Product
The ratio of beans to rice was off, finding the occasional bean was like finding a rare treasure. If I didn't have the package, I wouldn't have known that this was supposed to be Mexican style. I thought it was orange colored, greasy rice with the occasional bean. I did like the fast cooking time and how you can literally just microwave the package for two minutes. Is a nice way to stave off hunger even if it's not really Mexican style rice or even anything resembling Mexican food at all.

Quick & Filling Lunch
The Tilda Mexican Beans & Rice was a nice quick meal at lunch. It was very filling and nutritious. I appreciated the fact that it's organic and also very microwaveable. I feel that I could have eaten it in the car on the way to work for breakfast because the packaging is so sturdy and portable. The seasoning is on-par and perfect for a quick little meal.

Nice delicate rice
Basmati rice is a great rice for foods with lots of flavor, like Indian food. It is more delicate than other rices and has a soft flavor. I also liked that this version was very convenient to make. All you have to do is pop it in the microwave for a few minutes!

Delicious Basmati Rice
I found that this product was delicious to eat as a side for dinner. I ate this with chicken and broccoli. It cooks very quickly and is not dry at all.

Fast and easy steamed Basmati rice by Tilda
This made dinner making a breeze. We love steamed rice and Tilda's basmati steamed rice tastes like it took an hour making it. It was easier than instant rice and has a more awesome flavor. Make your meals quicker than ever with this rice.

Super easy and delicious
I loved that this was steamable in its packaging in the microwave. It made dinner so much easier! The taste was fresh and delicious.

Nice, but I've had better for less money.
The first thing I noticed about the product was that it cost a dollar more than my usual brand. I liked that it had all the credentials like non GMO and grown by independent farmers and it was under a brand I trust and like, HAIN Celestial. Unfortunately my usual brand, Tasty Bite has all the same credentials plus it's organic and you get a little more, 8.8 oz compared to 8.5. All that and still a dollar cheaper. I microwaved the rice and served it with Indian food. The rice was fragrant and fluffy however it didn't have much taste or texture. This is a nice product but it I will still be buying my usual brand.

Tilda gluten free steamed rice.
We tried this last night for supper to go with pork chops..It steamed for 2 min in microwave, easy to cook. The taste wasn't any different from other instant rices. All in all an ok product, but not one I would buy again.

Quick & Delicious!
Tilda Authentic Steamed Basmati Rice has a very pleasant nutty flavor. The microwaveable packaging makes this a super convenient product when you want quality rice in seconds. I appreciated that the rice wasn't mushy; you taste the individual grains of rice. It is perfect compliment to a home-cooked meal. Tilda's rice has an exceptional flavor; I highly recommend!

Good Product for Time Crunch
The Tilda Authentic Steamed Basmati Rice was better than expected. The rice was light and fluffy, not sticky, was perfectly done. I did, however, think it was a bit under-seasoned. This wasn't too bad of a thing since I find most pre-cooked items over-salted. The rice lends itself to serving with some type of sauce. This product is great for someone who doesn't want to make rice from scratch. It is far superior to "boil in bag" and the five minute rice products. I don't have a problem with cookie rice from scratch, so for me, this product is on the expensive side.

Healthy Rice
My family likes to eat as healthy as possible while still enjoying our food. This rice is a quick and easy way to make a side dish that is good for you and very nutritious at the same time. I would like to try the other varieties of this product.

Quick and easy rice
The rice was quick and easy to fix. It tasted good but was a little on the dry side so I added some chicken broth for more moisture.

Basmati Rice
This product is delicious. Not only does it cook quickly but it smells amazing while it's cooking. It's long grain when it's cooked and fluffy. I can't say enough about the smell taste and texture. If that's not enough the bag is plastic and has a zipper for easy closure and freshness. I would definitely buy this again.

Great texture & fluffliness
Easy to make and the texture was very good -- not at all gummy. A very fluffy & light rice. The taste was average; I think that all rice needs either salt or some type of flavoring.

Quick and easy to make basmati rice.
I found this basmati rice to be very easy to make and it took very little time. It tastes great but I found that I wished there was more in the package. My family likes rice a lot and the amount in the package was less than we usually make for with a meal.

I loved this rice!
I have tried precooked packaged rice before and I didn't care for the taste or texture. I loved this rice. It was well cooked, not wet, and tasted delicious. I only seasoned with salt and pepper. I served it with fish and vegetables. I cooked it in the microwave in the package and it turned out great. Next time I will try it in the skillet. I would definitely buy this again.

Easy to use high quality rice
Unlike many microwave rice products I've bought, this rice came out nice long individual grains, not at all gummy. Although I generally prefer Jasmine rice, this Basmati was very tasty. It's good to have a fast, easy rice on hand sometimes.

Great tasting white rice
I purchased Tilda Pure Basmati rice for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. I followed the microwave directions and In two minutes I had perfectly cooked rice and no pot to clean. I used it for a side for baked chicken and added some cooked diced peppers, onions for extra nutrients. This will be going on my list of foods for the RV, quick and easy to prepare, no cleanup, and tastes good while providing protein and fiber. I'm going to try their other flavors next.

Delicious and easy
My husband is a noodle man but I prefer rice. This rice was so easy to make and the fragrance while cooking was awesome. I made Tikka Masala and this was a wonderful product to complement the meal.

Easy, Tasty Tilda Rice
This is a quick and easy method of making rice. The taste of the rice is very good and I used some seasonings to add more flavor to it once it was ready to eat. The only draw back to me is the cost. I can purchase a bag of rice which will take longer to make but the amounts will be much greater at a lower cost.

Good flavor, great convenience
I thought this rice had a great flavor but thought that it got too mushy when cooked. I think I would shorter the microwave time from the 2 minutes. I love the convenience of having rice in a hurry.

Convenient to Cook
I like products like this where I can open the package, heat up the product, and have it ready to eat within minutes. I've tried similar rice products and this one was very comparable. It was nice to be able to choose a whole-grain rice rather than just a plain white rice because I like the flavor better but I wish that it came in more actual flavored options. It did taste good, though, and it made a great and easy-to-cook addition to a weeknight meal.

Basic instant rice. Nothing special for more $.
It was hard to find this rice on the shelf & when I did, I was pleased that I could put the package in the microwave to cook for 2 minutes. It cooked great in the 2 minute time. But the taste was rice, the same thing I could get at any store brand at half the cost. Pity.

Prepared Quickly, Nutty Taste, Pleasant Taste
Prepared in pan with a little oil and thought it tasty. Added vegetables in the same pan with the rice. Could easily add a cooked meat for a One skillet dish. I found this very helpful for preparing a quick meal. I liked that this had more flavor than most rice. So many options for using this rice in a skillet meal.

Tilda Basmati Rice
I have never had basmati rice before, so this was a new taste to me. I liked the taste and especially the texture - it was softer and fluffier than "regular" white rice. It was very easy to prepare in the microwave (just tear a slit in the package and microwave). My only thing I didn't like was the cost - I probably would not buy this on a regular basis since it costs $2.99, much more expensive than other pouched rice products.

Delicious rice
I think this rice really is so versatile. I paired it with some beef and vegetables in a stir fry. The taste really complemented the rest of RFD meal.

Convenient, but lacking taste
This is a nice timesaver in a pinch, but it had the taste and texture of a timesaver. Nothing bad, but lacked that wonderful aroma and accompanying taste that comes with the work of cooking rice the long way.
