 Delicious and NutritiousNov 12, 2009

From all I have ever been able to learn, Lundberg is a first class operation. I have tried (I think) every rice and rice blend that they offer, over the years that I have been buying their products. While I didn't always care for a particular variety, it was never an issue of quality, just a matter of personal preference.
There is one problem, which is not Lundberg's fault, but is worth noting. Too often, in local grocery stores, the Lundberg product does not turn over fast enough to avoid a decline in quality. I assume it is caused by a fermentation of the whole grain (not a problem with lesser rices because much of the "good stuff" is removed). The symptoms are a bag which is swollen, and rice which tastes a bit like Play-Doh smells. Play-Doh 24 Pack of Colors In order to avoid this problem, I started ordering my Lundberg on-line, and storing the extra bags in my freezer or refrigerator until used. So, buying it here (which is a little cheaper than Lundberg's on-line store) is a good way to go. If you want to buy just one bag to try at your local grocery store, check the bag carefully, and if it tastes like Play-Doh when you get home with it, that bag was too old.
Of all the Lundberg products, Countrywild is my absolute favorite. It is a nice blend of flavors, and I sometimes eat a bowl of it for my entire meal. It has a good flavor to it, but it is not as intense as some of the other varieties.
One more thing. For years I was frustrated with obtaining a good result when cooking whole grain rice. I finally tried a pressure rice cooker instead of the more common non-pressure methods. It really made a huge difference, and if you are a rice lover, you may want to try something like this Sanyo ECJ-PX50S 5-Cup Micro-Computerized Pressure Rice Cooker and Steamer or if your budget can stand it, Zojirushi NP-HTC18 Induction Heating 10-Cup Pressure Rice Cooker and Warmer
(I use the Sanyo and like it pretty well. A search on "pressure rice cooker" here, or a visit to any large Asian store, will reveal other makes and models, but there are no inexpensive pressure type rice cookers because of the substantial construction and safety requirements.)

Just the BEST Wild Rice!Nov 18, 2009
By Tivette
This is the BEST wild rice blend on the market! Comes out perfectly every time whether in a rice cooker or on the stove. Delicious with all kinds of dishes from game to delicate fish--always easy to prepare and always great tasting! Wonderful price for enough to keep on hand and store.

Great flavorDec 02, 2009
By Retired Geek
I really like this rice blend. I cook it in my electric steamer using vegetable broth instead of water, and it always comes out great. The 6-pack is a lot of rice though - if you don't eat rice frequently, you may want to store the bags in the freezer.

Yum! Yum! Yum!Aug 18, 2011
By Momma
We first tried Lundberg rice about 6 months ago. We have tried almost all of the varieties, and we haven't ever been disappointed... not even once. We are excited that Lundberg is now Non-GMO Verified, so you don't have to wonder what you are feeding your family. We were buying from the grocery store, but it's cheaper and more convenient to order online. All of Lundberg's rices are delicious enough to stand alone, and they pair well with almost everything!

Gourmet Blend, Whole Grain Brown Rice. Yummy! A tummy pleaser. My husband LOVES this rice - a little more than I do. I've made three cups at a time rather than the two-cup recipe so that my husband will have some left over for an evening treat or next day treat. I use Tones Chicken or Beef Base along with some Orzo and Spice Classics vegetable flakes, thereby making my own Rice-A-Roni. My cupboard is full of rice. I also bought the 6-pack of Lundberg Wild Rice and Brown Rice Blend. I'm not worried about expiration dates as long as the rice stays dry. I think we will use up both boxes this year. Good stuff.
