Authentic Smoked Basmati Rice by Khazana in 10 lb Bag - Aromatic and Flavorful Indian Grain - Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Kosher, Cholesterol Free

This rice is good. A friend had suggested that I try it and I'm glad they did. It has a very smoky smell when you first open the bag, but the taste is very subtle (but good). It cooks up well and does not disappoint. I recommend this product.

This rice is my favorite. The smoky flavor is subtle and it’s delicious.

Normally I get the smaller bags locally but they are no longer open. So took a chance here and no regrets at all. No I don’t have to hold back from eating the best rice around.

They used parboiled rice that is too rich. Smoked by bbq wood, nothing like original. Sorry khazaneh you lost your reputation by faking smoked rice. Shame

This rice has become our favorite. It goes with many dishes and tastes great. The smoky flavor is not as strong as the way it smells in the uncooked state. Be sure to rinse it before cooking. You can add salt and/or a small amount of oil, but don’t really need to. Wish it were less pricey, and more available in local markets, that would make it perfect.

This was my first time having smoked rice. I am happy I bought the rice, as it’s a nice change from my norm. When you open the bag, the rice has an overly strong scent of smoke, but after I soak the rice or 30 minutes, and then cook it, the aroma of smoke is toned down to a very good level.This rice is a nice addition to change things up, when wanted. Very good with butter and salt.I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because the grains are not as long as other varieties of basmati rice. However, the value for money is spot on. Just look at other smoked rice prices....

There was a time when rice was often smoked to control pest infestations via tiny insect eggs that can hatch during storage. This still happens with some US or imported rice that is stored in a warm location, unless you freeze it for 2 days when you get it home. Look for tiny beetles in the bottom of the container.Today I find the exotic aroma of sweet smoke enhances the dish. It is A VERY MILD subtle smoke aroma that will dissipate if not stored air tight. Some of these rice grains cook to 3/4 inch in length! The price will be high for a while until India has another good rice harvest.If global warming increases, this product may never be exported again.I never bother to rinse it and there is no reason to soak it first.It is illegal to sell GMO rice anywhere on Earth, that is only available for free to certain countries with malnutrition. Now that you know it is not legally sold anywhere, what do you think about the fear mongering lies of the organic industry's implications that there might be something bad about GMO crop science?? The organic industry spends $3 billion a year on propaganda, which is why it costs so much more for organic. Please boycott ALL foods with the 'Non-GMO' label.

I LOVE this rice. Other smoked rices I've tried smelled amazing out of the bag, but you couldn't taste smoke at all once it was cooked. Not the case here! It retains that smoke flavor with cooking and really heightens any dish you make with it. It's also just a really high quality rice. It cooks up beautifully in my rice cooker and comes out light and delicate. Highly recommend.
