Aahu Barah Mother Basmati Sela Rice, 10 Pound

This is the most perfect rice. Please note this is sela basmati so very popular rice used in West Asian and Central Asian cooking. Qabeli Palau. Chalau. etc is made best with this rice. It is superior long grain rice and keeps its integrity even if you accidentally over cook them. But of course, you won't overcook this! It is the most fragrant and tasteful dish. Love this! Thank you!

Came fairly fast! My BFF went to a rice expo and was RAVING about this rice. "It was THE best rice there!!" she was absolutely giddy!! We are huge rice fans as our families are from another country and we both eat rice for every meal. I gave it a shot and it was very, very good. My husband, who is not use to eating rice as much as I am, said it smelled funny. I don't think it was stinky, but it does have a distinctive smell. I loved it! It is wonderful alone or with food on top. You can soak it for a couple of hours if you want or not. It is amazing rice! A little pricy for rice, but totally worth it! and the bags they come in are totally awesome, I use them to put food in when we travel! They zip up so the kids can have their own 'snack sacks'. Next time I order we want to make purses!

Can’t ruin this rice. The best rice I’ve ever used.

I cooked this rice for the first time.Very disappointed.When regular Basmati rice is cooked, pleasant aroma fills entire home, grains are slender and long and tastes delicious.This outrageouly expensive Mother basmati rice has no aroma, scent or taste. grains are plump. Total waste of money.Wish I could return this rice for regular basmati rice.

Used to be my favorite white rice, but never delivered this time. Not the seller's issue I guess. This long grain Basmati has less aroma or taste compare to some other brands but if you were seeking the best looking rice with good taste, you got it!

Good flavor, good price for Qty/product

This is the real thing - super long grain Afghan "mother rice" like you eat in the restaurants. We've tried it two times and it's delicious, different from other kind of rice. Some grains are as long as a normal fingernail. Cooks up nicely in a normal rice cooker. The bag top has a zipper, which is a convenient way to store leftover rice.

Delicious
