Instant Exotic Rice

One of the difficulties in making basmati or jasmine rice is the time it takes for these products to cook. Rancho Dominguez, Calif.-based Mars Food U.S. has come to the rescue with its Uncle Ben’s brand, which is now offering its Ready Rice in both basmati and jasmine varieties. As consumers continue to cook at home more often and look to expand their taste palates, these two new offerings fit in nicely with this trend. The suggested retail price is $2.30 for an 8.5-ounce package. Find out more by visiting www.unclebens.com.
