Is this even basmati or more of that hybridised extra long grain crap that lacks any basmati aroma whatsoever (wasnt even classified as basmati until around 10 years back) and is now the default product we get sold misleadingly under the name basmati?
20th Jan
exactly is this a monsanto special?
20th Jan
Laila…. got me in the mood Laila, telling you darling please Laila
20th Jan
You got me on my knees Laila
20th Jan
This rice isn’t suitable for boiled rice , perfect for biryani/pilau/fried rice
21st Jan
But surely boiling is part of the process of the dishes you have just described
20th Jan
What other brand basmati rice would people recommend? Have a rice cooker and now have space to store a big bag. I’ve tried blue Tilda (edited)
20th Jan
Blue Tilda or any Tilda is awful in a rice cooker. I recently got a £190 rice cooker and found this rice to be the best so far: yum-asia.com/uk/…kg/
21st Jan
ASDA currently have the 10kg 'normal Laila rice for 13.50; bought some yesterday. We tend to get whatever basmati rice is on offer, sometimes Laila, Salaam etc. I honestly can't tell the difference!
21st Jan
That’s why I say Rice is rice! You agree

How did those who bought this rice brand for the first time find it? I have been buying Mega Veetee which I’m very happy with and onto my last bag. Wondering how these would compare.
12th Feb
These are also nice but the rice is not as long as the Veete mega or Black Laila. These are better quality than your bog standard basmati like the green Laila etc. You'll be fine with these.
20th Jan

these are much better than Gold and Green pack especially for biryani and pilau as stay firm and separate after cooking and taste is also better but they are bit pricey and not available everywhere
20th Jan
Who sells them?

Modern basmati growers obsession with grain length makes me think like sports car drivers they are over compensating for something.....no not that!
But does seem as basmati grains have grown longer they have got less and less flavour and fragrance.
Do the fools realise there's actually very popular short grain varieties available as well that don't seem to suffer poor sales as their consumers focus on the flavour and cullinary purpose.

If I wanted a flavourless starchy accompaniment to my meal I could just boil up some pasta. I bought basmati for its acetyl pyroline secret ingredient... sadly so secret nowadays there's hardly any of it in a bowl of modern basmati. (edited)

I always loved basmati until I tried AAA mai thai Jasmin rice,never eat anything else it's so tasty,great price for this though,heat added
20th Jan
But one is Indian and one is Thai?
20th Jan

Above not correct though!

£1.6/100g😁 (edited)
20th Jan
Maybe £1.60/1000g
20th Jan
My next rice purchase will be thai jasmine rice....if it tastes and smells more like the old basmati I know and remember than ths stuff packaged and sold as Basmati today the greedy agri-businesses of south asia will have lost a lifelong customer and I will highly reccommend other 'basmati' consumers do likewise.
20th Jan
Jasmine rice isn't basmathi either ,trying tastes like very, very normal white rice ...
20th Jan
Is this better than the AAA mai Thai rice which can usually be £6 for 5kg?
20th Jan
Rice is rice, rice is rice
20th Jan
What’s the difference between this rice and the black Laila rice?
20th Jan
I think black one is gluten free and better then these
20th Jan
Morrisons selling 10kg for 16 pounds
21st Jan
Decent rice. Just got 10kg yesterday from Asda for 17£
21st Jan

21st Jan
Would rather have 10kg of Kohinoor Gold from Morrisons for £16.
21st Jan
Ooh I wish I knew that. I just got 10kg laila from Asda. Generally speaking kohinoor is better. But rice is natural produce and quality varies year to year depending on rain sun etc (edited)
21st Jan
kohinoor gold same price aswell sainsburys
21st Jan
Same rice in 10kg for £16 in morrisons, got some yesterday. My mum said it's excellent after having some today. (edited)
21st Jan
No more s&s now

If you look at all the supermarket basmati rice, they never list a country of origin. And that's why I don't buy it. I go straight to Costco and get me a nice big bag of Pakistani basmati. At least I know where it's coming from and not from the cheapest source. They were quite a few reports of toxic (arsenic) content in certain Indian rice. (edited)
22nd Jan
You can get issues anywhere and everywhere. Rice in both side of the borders are grown in similar soil and fed by the same rivers. Taste is the same. As for quality you will find certain brands buy cheaper others buy expensive. Meaning they look for crop price quality point reflecting market segment

I don't even get a subscribe and save option.

Still £7.22 for me - thanks
