Organic Basmati Rice

Luxuriously long-grained and alluringly aromatic (its name comes from the Hindi word for “fragrant,” in fact), basmati rice is one of those staples that we like to have handy at all times. What we don’t always have handy are the tools (or the time!) to cook it from scratch, especially when we want to enjoy it as part of a work lunch or a quick, weeknight dinner. That’s why we offer our quick and convenient Trader Joe’s Organic Basmati Rice in our freezers. Each box contains three pouches of frozen Organic Basmati Rice, which, after just a few minutes in the microwave (or a little longer on the stovetop, if you’d prefer) are ready to be plated with all manner of proteins, accompany all kinds of curry, or soak up all sorts of sauces.

We find that this Rice is especially great for serving with our also-extremely-quick-and-convenient Indian Fare pouches, like Tikka Vegetables or Yellow Tadka Dal, as well as our Middle Eastern Style Kebabs. Since they’re so microwave-friendly, they also provide a shrewd shortcut for batch-prepping work lunches. And when winter rolls around, they also make an easy and time-saving addition to a pot of vegetable or chicken soup.
