PRODUCT REVIEW: Baji’s International Rice Meals
Slender pouches microwave to fluffy rice dishes. |
Looking for a great side dish or vegetarian meal that’s ready in 90 seconds? Baji’s Rice Meals are a wonderful addition to the pantry shelf: an uber-convenient line of five international flavors of basmati rice. The pouch goes into the microwave, and Jambalaya, Lemongrass and Basil, Lentil Rice Biryani, Nasi Goreng or Paella emerges (rice and vegetables only—add your own meat, poultry or seafood). The dishes are highly seasoned. They can be enjoyed with everyday grilled meat, poultry or seafood, or incorporated into a more complex jambalaya, paella or Indian dish. The line is all natural, trans fat free, cholesterol free, wheat free, gluten free and preservative free. A 9-ounce box is $2.99 and makes two adult pportions. The line is sold at fine retailers and on Amazon.com. A portion of the company’s profits helps disadvantaged children throughout the third world. Read our full review of Baji’s Rice Meals. | |
