Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For years, we relied on Near East Rice Pilaf to brighten weekday dinners. The product cooks quickly and the pine nuts (not lentils, as another reviewer erroneously reported) are absolutely stupendous.
Unfortunately, inflation has hit some of the higher-end grocery items, like this one, and at these levels (including the shipping), even a carton of 12 Near East Rice Pilaf boxes is way beyond our budget. Each box feeds about five people. For two, there will be leftovers. But still. Reheated rice and pine nuts, despite the interesting spice content, aren't as good.
We've therefore shifted to a neat Trader Joe's combination of basmati and wild rices, with vegetable bits (not offered here) that spices up daily meals with a lot less strain on the purse. Amazon does offer a 12-pack carton of tasty-sounding 6.5 ounce Basmati Rice with roasted garlic and herbs but we haven't tried it, as even that is a bit too steep for us.
We'll finish all the Near East products now on our shelves. But delicious or not, the stuff has just grown too dear.
