Is this actual basmati rice? The description makes it sound like short rice that has added basmati scent. Basmati rice is long and thin, not short.

It is basmati rice, but brown. Best rice for you--a lot of non-basmati rice has high levels of arsenic. It's a great product and a good price.

The rice is brown, long and thin. There were a few green colored gains in our bag. It also taste like basmati when you eat it. But I don't actually know if it's basmati rice or a cousin? Hope this helped.

This definitely not short. But if u asked me about long grain brown rice vs basmati rice, I can't really differentiate.

I wouldn't say the rice smelled but I did notice after like 3-4 days the rice isn't good anymore. It turns yellow.

I have cooked long grain basmati rice in it successfully. To do so, I use a normal measuring cup, put in 1 cup of rice and 1.5 cups of water instead of using the measuring lines in the rice pot. Then just put it in chamber and cook as usual.The pre-rinse is the same as any rice - simply rinse your rice twice, making sure to drain all the rinsing water before adding the cooking water.

Not sure but what I DO Know is that the only rice that is natural is Wild Rice (long grain). Any other rice white, brown, black ect. ect. is a hybrid & contains starch. In the cooking process the starch tends to get sticky that's why white rice especially tends to stick to the sides and bottom of the pot. Out of all hybrid rice black rice is the least starchy but I would just buy the wild rice because the molecular structure is complete because its native to the earth (meaning it was found by man not made by man) Wild Rice is starchless (well at least the Non GMO kind)

I had never noticed a scent even though I've used it for years. Had to go give it a sniff. It really has very little smell. The closest I can come to a description is "clean". Hope this helps.

It is white, sticky rice. Very yummy. My wife says it is as close to "real" Japanese rice as can be bought in USA.

This Ceylon cinnamon is a very "fine" cinnamon. It's almost like a powder so it doesn't "clump" and float on top of tea like non cinnamon. It's easy to stir into tea and seems to blend well. I wasn't sure if it settled on the bottom or not though, so I tried it this morning. Unfortunately, I got interrupted before I finished my tea and it sat on my desk longer than usual. When I finished it, there was some cinnamon left in the bottom of the cup. I don't know if settled out because it sat longer or if it would have settled there anyway. Since it blended into the tea so much easier than non ceylon cinnamon, I think if I had stirred the tea when I came back to it the cinnamon may not have settle to the bottom but I don't know that for sure. There was definitely not as much cinnamon on the bottom of the cup as what I had put in.

It is not cracked, it's whole grain, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "long grain." It looks the same as other whole grain, uncracked wild rice I've used. Be careful, because the same company sells cracked wild rice in a package that looks almost identical, at a lower price. I haven't tried it yet. The quality of this rice is much better than the small boxes available at grocery stores, at about half the cost.

It's white rice. No bran. If it had bran, it would be brown rice. I don't know if it was bleached. It's delicious, though!

It's fake the fragrance lasted no more than 10 minutes. Smelled like it but not lasting like the real thing. It was almost like it was watered down

It's hard to say. It's sticky to a degree, but not as sticky as traditionally "sticky" rice. I don't know if steaming your rice would make any difference either. Sometimes rice can be prepared in certain ways to make it more or less sticky too. However, my experience with rice is that you must watch it when it's cooking. Watching it may be the key in determining when it has reached the consistency that you desire. Sticky or not, this is some really good rice! I have to re-order soon. This rice would be sooo beautiful to plate if it could be cooked without it becoming stcky though, but I just eat it for the health benfits. It's hard to say.

No it is not. It is either half tang, or rat tail. It seems more like rat tail.

No. Sticky rice refers to a type of grain called sweet rice/glutinous rice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhongzi is what it is for. Japanese calls it Chimaki.

another reviewer recommended texmati rice sold on amazon RiceSelect Texmati White Rice, Long Grain American Basmati, 32-Ounce Jars (Pack of 4)and they were right probably the best rice i have ever cooked at home. haven't tried risotto but I believe this thing would do the trick ...basically you just add water and let it do it's thing.

No. I tested the rice myself to make sure. What I did was soak the rice for 2hrs to see if it was legit. Product turns out fine.
