Hello,
This rice is so fresh and nutritious and I am so glad I found it as it is perfect for my pitta vata constitution. There are many nourishing dishes I can make with it from sweet to just normal.
Thank you,
Jeannette
Always completely happy with all things Banyan.
Rice is delicious, light and fluffy.
My family and I love Japanese food, but find we can't eat most anymore due to the GMO and other commercial rice
being used in many restaurants. I love rice and finally have found one which I can eat without any difficulty!!
Good quality rice.
I love this rice. I first had it in the Kitcheree and also in my veggie soup.
You all are GREAT !!
I love this rice! It has great flavor and cooks up perfectly every time. My digestive system loves it too!
I love Banyan's basmati rice...I've used it for a very long time and it's the best I've found. However, this last batch I ordered smelled rancid instead of the freshness I'm used to from them. Bad or old batch maybe??? That's a very unusual occurrence for Banyan...it's never happened before.
Hi Cathy,
Thank you for your review and we're so sorry to hear about your funky rice. We will be reaching out shortly to resolve this issue. Talk soon!
This rice cooks up perfectly every time and has the best flavor! I've tried many different brands and none can compare.
Best White, Basmati, Rice
This is great rice. We love it
There is a very noticeable difference with this rice. Visually, it is longer and more thin than any organic Basmati rice found in a store, even the very expensive brands. It cooks up beautifully in Kitchari or as a companion element to your meal. I found it quite easy to digest without any uncomfortable feelings. This is easily my family's favorite rice and the price is far better than a store or other companies!
This is the most delicious basmati rice I have ever purchased. I will be buying it again as I am confident that it is high quality.
By far the best basmati rice
Love this long-grained delicious rice to make kitchari or to use by itself as addition to a meal.
Best rice I have eaten.
Love it
I love rice. This is a good one. Good for the health

It’s my treat, soothing, makes wonderful dishes
Cooks perfectly, great taste, and not sticky.
I love rice, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this rice- kinda obsessed with it, really. The texture and aroma are top notch. I can't believe it cooks up in 10 minutes too!
