Botan Calrose, Rice Calrose Extra Fancy, 80 Ounce

READ THIS: I love this rice, it is my absolute favorite, BUT I have had to add BAY leaves to keep the bugs from forming. I use the word "forming" because they are not there at first, but then show up. Does that mean that there are eggs or parasites? Maybe, but I am hoping soaking them well is getting rid of them.

Wow, this rice is the bomb. Such good flavor and texture - so dense and chewy but not hard or gummy. Just perfect!!! Plus, the quality of this brand is top drawer. I tried the 365 brand and there was no comparison! Whenever you make some, be sure to make a big batch so you'll have leftovers. It makes the BEST fried rice. Please note, the water-to-rice ratio for cooking this type of rice is much lower than other types of white rice, so be sure to follow the cooking instructions! At first I thought "that's way too little water!" but it works.

Medium-grain rice is what you usually get in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean restaurants. Botan-brand rice is grown in California to USA quality standards. Botan is one of the cheaper brands that you will find at Asian-American grocery stores. Quality, flavor, texture is good for the price and it is fine for family meals. The cooked rice is fluffy and moderately sticky, so is easy to eat with chopsticks. 5 pounds does not last long if you eat rice regularly. Quality and flavor is essentially the same as the Nishiki-brand rice that Amazon also sells. We buy whichever one is cheaper.

This is my favorite rice although I don't get to buy it very often because I can't afford to. It is very spendy and the price could come down a little bit better. Value for the money I wouldn't agree with it being on point it has a nice sticky consistency but not as sticky as sticky rice of course. It smells fresh in the bag before cooked it also smells fresh and great after you have cooked it. Very clean no bugs no dirt no yucky of any sort that I've seen. It was sealed well.

Yes good rice for rice cooker

Good!

Being from Hawaii, rice is a staple in our home. After moving to another state it was hard for me to find sticky rice, let alone rice that cooked well and was good. Thank God for amazon lol! This brand is awesome and for the price? You can't beat it. It's sticky, doesn't have that grainy dirty or weird plastic taste that some others do. It's perfect for fried rice and sushi as well!

This is one of my all time favorite rices! Very high quality at a decent price. I use it as a side if I’m craving sticky white rice and it’s sooo delicious!

Llego sin daños la bolsa, buena calidad en el producto.

The Botan Musenmai Calrose Rice is a very good quality rice. It is very tasty rice that is easy to cook and has a great texture. I use it in all of my rice recipes.
