Tilda Broken Basmati Rice Pack of 20 kg
J**S
Best Bulk Purchase of My Life
I bought this 20KG bag in late March 2020. I didn't buy it due to the craziness of people clearing out the shelves. NAY, I, a mere final year undergraduate, counted the pennies in my pocket and despaired at the price of Uncle Ben's Microwave Rice. "Why me!" I bleated, "will I forever be doomed to an existence of meals within small packets at nearly £2 apiece?".Then, as if the angels opened the heavens and blessed me with eternal youth, The Algorithm responded.Akin to Jesus during Judgement Day, it sat bestraddling a white horse named quantity and sounding its great horn of value for money; it cast away all the devils that had infested my existence.Anyway, fanciful writing aside, I would recommend this. I bought it for £25.50; I stand by my decision. I have used this one bag in around 280 - 330 meals (presuming each serving is roughly between 60 to 80g, I never measured the weight, just eyeballed it with one mug).So, let's round and say 300 meals.That means breaking down the price; it is £0.09 per serving.As of writing this, I have nearly eaten all the rice, and it almost feels like saying goodbye to an old friend.I remember the day when it arrived. I was thankful for having a lift in my building since I lived on the top floor up nine flights of stairs.In short, it's good rice, a bit different to Unbroken, but you get (at the time of purchase) 4x the amount of rice for the same price.£25 is outstanding value for money; anything less is an absolute steal.UPDATEAs of July 9th 2021, a year and four months after the original purchase, I finally emptied the bag with only an egg cup of rice left. But my dear reader, do not mourn for me, for I have bought a second one.How much, you may ask? £ 17.19!UPDATE 27th December 2023 update (because why not):I have bought this rice four times, with the prices being as follows:£25.50 - 13th March 2020£17.19 - 12th May 2021£21.79 - 16th December 2022£26.99 - 3rd May 2023So there are swings in price, so if you time it right, you can get an even better deal, but even if it is on the more expensive end, I have never felt cheated.Also, for context, the December purchase was a Christmas present to my brother (because I thought it would be funny). The other three are for my consumption.So, my first bag lasted one year and two months.My second bag lasted nearly two years (shy by nine days).In short, I have bought this rice four times. I have found each bag to be of equal quality, and each has served me as well as any of the others. If that is not a recommendation, then I do not know what is.

“A Great Alternative to Regular Rice"
This rice is a flavorful and tasty alternative to regular rice. It cooks easily, with each grain coming out fluffy and perfectly separated. The slightly nutty aroma adds depth to any dish, making it a great option for those wanting to elevate their meals. While it may cost a bit more, the superior taste and quality make it worth the price. Highly recommended!

Perfect find
I was looking for a good quality rice which is easy to eat or small grains , this is it! I loved it only thing is the pictures above may look over boiled which is true and it’s my fault as this is my first time cooking it otherwise it is a perfect find for me.

Good quality rice
This did the trick. I dropped my entire computer in the pool and thought, if it works for a phone why not try it with a computer... just pull the string to open the top and dunk it in...It's broken rice so I was a little co fused at first but I actually prefer the broken rice now that iv tried it. The grains are just broken and smaller. Tastes like rice, easy to cook..

Top quality rice, at a great price.
You really can't go wrong with this broken basmati rice. It's as cheap as those basic/saver packs of rice you get in the supermarkets; you know the ones, really cheap untitled white rice.But this is Tilda quality, it genuinely does have a nice smell to it when you open the bag. There's no little gritty bits, it's just half size grains of basmati.Cooks quicker too, so it's easy to prep. I can't see myself using normal basmati rice again while this stuff is available.Get yourself a bargain 👍

Not the same
Normally we have basmati rice, thought try this one as bit cheaper. It’s ok but I prefer the basmati rice. It’s because it tastes different and feels different in you mouth.
