On a scale of 1 - 10 I rate this product a 20!
Now and then one of my food testers will bring me a product to try and to create a recipe for. She always leaves it on my patio along with any dishes she might have accumulated from sampling. This time she left me about a cup of rice mix that her sister had given to her. I love the flavor of Basmati Rice. I love the texture that comes with Brown Rice. I love the taste and texture of Wild Rice, as well as the coloring it adds to a dish. But I had never tried Wheat and Rye Berries so this would be a 1st for me.
That evening I had planned on making what I named my Tex-Mex Ground Beef Casserole. The recipe that this dish came from called for macaroni since I was making ingredient changes I decided to use rice. I followed the directions on the package which is simply combine water, salt, butter and rice blend. Bring it to a boil. Turn it down to low. Add a tight lid and let it sit for 45 minutes. When the time was up I decided to take a bite to make sure it was done. Well, that bite became another and then another and another. It was so good that I almost didn't want to add it to the casserole... but I did. It was so good!
The blend of the different rices with the wheat and rye berries combined with the flavor that comes from the basmati has become something I can't begin to describe. This is one you really need to try.
