Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rice a kid-friendly side dish for picky eaters?
Yes. The mild, neutral flavor and soft fluffy texture are well tolerated by picky eaters, and the grains are easy to chew for younger kids.
Can I use this rice to make stuffed peppers for the family?
Yes. The grains hold their shape well, which makes this rice a great stuffing for bell peppers, cabbage rolls, and other family-style stuffed vegetable recipes.
Is the rice safe and simple for a teen to cook on their own?
Yes. The 20-minute stovetop method is straightforward enough for a teen or older child learning to cook, with no special equipment required.
Does the rice work for kid-friendly lunchbox meals?
Yes. You can portion it into lunchboxes with vegetables, proteins, and sauces for rice bowls, and the grains stay separated even after sitting in a container.
Will my child actually eat this rice without complaining about texture?
Most kids respond well to the fluffy, non-sticky texture, and the mild flavor accepts butter, cheese, or mild sauces that children tend to enjoy.
Can I make a quick rice bowl that my kids will eat for dinner?
Yes. Cook the rice, add cooked chicken, beans, corn, and a mild sauce, and you have a fast family-friendly rice bowl that children usually enjoy.
Is the rice low in fat for kids' meals?
Yes. The rice is fat-free, so it pairs well with proteins and vegetables in balanced kid-friendly meals without adding extra fat.
Does the bag reseal so I can keep it fresh in a busy family kitchen?
The sturdy 10 lb bag can be folded and clipped or transferred to an airtight container, both of which work well in a busy family kitchen.
Is the rice enriched with vitamins that benefit growing kids?
Yes. The rice is enriched with iron, calcium, and B vitamins, which are nutrients often associated with growth and development in children.
Is this a good rice to use in casseroles the whole family will eat?
Yes. The separate grains and mild flavor blend nicely into chicken, beef, and vegetable casseroles that tend to be family favorites.
How does this compare to flavored or pre-seasoned rice mixes for kids?
Plain parboiled rice lets you control the salt, sugar, and seasonings, which is generally healthier for kids than heavily seasoned packaged mixes.
Is the rice better than instant rice for kid-friendly fried rice?
Yes. The firmer, separated grains hold up better in a skillet, giving you a better fried rice texture for kid-friendly dinners.
Will the rice stick together and be hard for kids to eat?
No. The parboiled style is designed to produce separate, fluffy grains, so the rice does not clump into sticky bites that are hard for kids to chew.
Is the bag too heavy for a kid to lift and pour?
At 10 lb, the bag is heavy for a child, so it is best for an adult to pour and then store the bag up high or in a sealed container out of reach.
What if my child has a sensitive stomach — is this gentle enough?
Plain white rice is often recommended for sensitive stomachs, and this parboiled variety has a similarly mild, easy-to-digest profile.
I'm worried about the rice being too bland for my kids.
You can easily season it with a little butter, salt, cheese, or mild herbs. Many families also stir in peas, carrots, or shredded chicken to make it more appealing.
How do I cook BEN'S ORIGINAL long grain white rice on the stovetop?
Use a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. Bring the water to a boil, add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
How do I cook this rice in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker?
Add 1 cup of rice to 1.25 cups of water in the pressure cooker, seal the lid, and cook on high pressure for about 12 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally, then fluff before serving.
How do I make a fluffy pilaf with this rice?
Soak the rice in hot water with a pinch of kosher salt, then drain. Brown the rice in oil or butter, add broth or water, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed. The result is a fluffy pilaf with separate grains.
Does this rice work with vegetable, chicken, or beef broth instead of water?
Yes. Substituting broth for water adds flavor and works well in pilafs, stuffings, and rice bowls, while keeping the same 2:1 liquid-to-rice ratio and 20-minute cook time.
Can I freeze cooked rice for later use?
Yes. Cool the cooked rice, portion it into freezer bags or containers, and freeze for up to a few months. Reheat with a splash of water in the microwave or on the stovetop.
What is included in the box when I order this product?
You receive a single 10 lb (160 oz) bag of BEN'S ORIGINAL Enriched Long Grain White Parboiled Rice. No additional accessories are required; you only need water, a pot with a lid, and a heat source to cook it.
Is this product safe for people with gluten or common allergies?
Plain long grain white rice is naturally gluten-free and free from most major allergens. Always check the current package label for the most accurate ingredient and allergen information.
How long does an unopened 10 lb bag stay fresh?
When stored in a cool, dry place, an unopened bag has a long shelf life. Check the best-by date on the package, and once opened, store rice in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
What is the difference between parboiled rice and regular white rice?
Parboiled rice is steamed in its husk before milling, which drives nutrients into the grain and produces a firmer, less sticky texture. Regular white rice is milled without this step and tends to be softer and more prone to clumping.
