The flavour is excellent, and the quality is outstanding. The grains cook beautifully and have a great texture. I’ve been very impressed with this rice and would highly recommend it. 100% worth buying again! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best rice *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 August 2025* Smells amazing when cooked, taste excellent when cooked 30 min cook time great and fluffy. Good size ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great aroma *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 December 2024* Opened the bag to inspect the grains, they look overall in good condition as you would expect from a premium brand, not many broken grains. The aroma is great, really intense and very nice.The grains themselves aren’t as long as another premium brand though.. and so it turns out they result in a more delicate rice. So far I’ve only tried cooking them in a broken rice cooker with no fuzzy logic function because it broke, and the rice came out well but I think definitely it would really benefit this particular grain to have a rice cooker with fuzzy logic to cook them with fine precision,Interestingly I found that this particular grain cooks best with the standard water to rice ratio of 1.5:1, whereas the previous brand I was using was Laila Xlong premium or something in a black bag, had a required ratio of 1.6:1 to cook best, so a pretty big difference, the Laila grains had noticeably more width and length,But the aroma of these is really outstanding.So far I’ve only eaten some in a burrito with other ingredients so can’t comment too much on flavour, but I’d expect it to be good, given the great aroma. I just wish my rice cooker wasn’t broken so I could enjoy them to the full. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tilda Pure Basmati Rice, 5kg - Iwisa Maize Super Maize Meal 5kg --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/53546223-pure-basmati-rice-5kg](https://www.desertcart.at/products/53546223-pure-basmati-rice-5kg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
