Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati Rice — 6-Pack 8.5 oz Pouches, Microwaveable & Fully Cooked in 90 Seconds

Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati is fully cooked long-grain rice in microwaveable pouches that deliver aromatic, nutty-flavored basmati in about 90 seconds.

If you want restaurant-style basmati without rinsing, measuring or standing over a pot, this six-pack of 8.5 oz pouches gives you an easy, portioned solution. Each pouch contains pre-cooked, low-sodium basmati rice with long, separate grains and a subtle nutty aroma. The BPA-free pouches are designed for microwave heating or skillet warming so you can add the rice straight to a bowl, plate, or recipe in minutes and minimize cleanup.

How quickly can I get this basmati rice on the table?

Heat time is the main convenience benefit: pop a pouch in the microwave and it’s ready in about 90 seconds. If you prefer stovetop, simply tear open and reheat in a skillet until warm. No measuring, soaking, or simmering; the rice arrives fully cooked and simply needs reheating.

• Microwave: 90 seconds in pouch
• Skillet: pour and heat until steaming
• Single-serve pouch: one pouch equals a standard side portion

What does the rice taste and feel like?

This basmati features long grains with a fine, fluffy texture and a mild, nutty flavor profile that complements many cuisines. The grains remain separate rather than clumpy, making the rice suitable as a side or a base for saucy mains. It’s intentionally simple so flavors from curries, roasted meats, or vegetables pair smoothly.

• Long, separate grains for a fluffy finish
• Subtle nutty aroma that enhances rather than overpowers dishes
• Neutral profile perfect for global pairings

Are there clean-label or dietary considerations?

Ben's Original Ready Rice Basmati is formulated to be accessible for many diets: it’s vegetarian, very low in sodium and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The product is also free of trans fat and cholesterol and low in saturated fat. Always read the pouch for full ingredient and allergen information if you have specific dietary needs.

How can I use this rice in meals beyond a simple side?

Ready Rice Basmati works as a quick base for meal bowls, fried rice, stuffed peppers, or as an accompaniment to stews and grilled proteins. Because it reheats well, you can layer it into casseroles or mix with vegetables and sauces for a fast one-pan dinner. The single-serve pouch also makes it handy for meal prep, packed lunches, or portion control.

• Use as a base for curry bowls or grain salads
• Mix with sautéed vegetables for quick fried rice
• Incorporate into casseroles or stuffed vegetables
