Honest to Goodness Organic Jasmine Rice, 5 kg

Until meeting my wife, I had absolutely no idea there were different qualities of rice. And until eating this rice, I had NEVER enjoyed eating steamed rice in my life, not once. So, I had always avoided steamed rice where I could. Well, that has now changed. This rice has a lovely subtle flavour, and it feels smooth in your mouth. I've never known steamed rice to taste so good. My wife is a Filipina and she has been eating rice her whole life. Like all Filipinos, she can tell the difference in the quality of a rice with their first mouthful. I have been in the Philippines a few times, and I didn't like any of the rice I tried over there, even when my wife and her friends were saying if the rice was good quality or bad.

And until eating this rice, I had NEVER enjoyed eating steamed rice in my life, not once. So, I had always avoided steamed rice where I could. Well, that has now changed. This rice has a lovely subtle flavour, and it feels smooth in your mouth. I've never known steamed rice to taste so good. My wife is a Filipina and she has been eating rice her whole life. Like all Filipinos, she can tell the difference in the quality of a rice with their first mouthful. I have been in the Philippines a few times, and I didn't like any of the rice I tried over there, even when my wife and her friends were saying if the rice was good quality or bad. I always tasted the rice first, then would politely say, "not for me thanks". My wife has just recently arrived in Australia from the Philippines for the first time, and we bought a small pack of organic rice from a local shop that sells organic. I usually like to buy in bulk when I know I am going to use a lot of something, and I told my wife that I would go online and buy a bigger bag of rice that would, per kilo, be a cheaper buy. My wife didn't make much comment about the rice we bought locally, other than to say, it was okay. A couple of days ago, after our Honest to Goodness package arrived and after we finished off the locally bought organic rice first, my wife pulled out our rice cooker and steamed up some of this rice. I thought my response was good at "wow, this rice is actually nice", but my wife's response took me by surprise. She was like "wow, this is the best rice ever". Honest to Goodness, unless you can find an even better jasmine rice, please don't change your supplier.

I just love this rice.
