Fast, healthy... works in a pinch!I bought this at the beginning of the COVID crisis because I was having so much trouble finding organic rice at my grocery store.My little girl is a risotto fan - so I thought this could help greatly.Well, I was correct....ish.To be fair, it’s NOT a creamy risotto like some may anticipate, but rather more of a flavored rice. HOWEVER, I bring a cup of either chicken bone broth OR veggie broth to a boil then add the product and some grated veggies (think zucchini, carrots, chopped tomatoes, fresh basil) and grate some fresh Parmesan on top - voila - super fussy (fancy?) kid approved.Great in a pinch and I will re-order because this has saved me in lunch times on more than one occasion!Things to know - as a stand alone dish, meh.As a prepped dish with accoutrements- yay!I have worked with food manufacturers and I know that products such as what I have ordered from you have a longer shelf live than Sept 2020. It's rice for goodness sake! This is my last order from you during the pandemic season I don't enjoy receiving old nearly outdated product priced as if cost of fresh products. I could get this from the dollar store at a much reduced price. Shame on you...Did not like the tasteWas advertised as Vegetable Risotto had no veggies and was dry not creamy like Risotto had to add butter definitely will never buy againNot very tasty. Taste like dried up rice with a bad after taste. Would not buy again.Didn't taste good.No taste Bland.
