Never start writing reviews hungry. You'll end up doing something silly like reviewing instant rice products.

Uncle Bens Instant Long Grain White Rice gives a tender rice that appears and has the texture of regular rice. The taste is excellent and it goes well with many different meals and recipes. Cooking is simple and you only need add water, salt, and butter or margarine. It's easy to cut down on the sodium and fat since you control how much you put in.

Minute Rice is quick and easy to make and produces good tasting rice that is suitable for any recipe. The texture is not as full as its’ competitor and although you are only adding water, the carb and calorie count is slightly higher. This product would be best used as part of a recipe rather than serving it alone as a side.
