Uncle Ben's new Flavor Infusions rice

Influenster sent me a bag of the Uncle Ben's Flavor Infusions Chicken & Herb Flavored Infused Dry Rice for free to try out and review. I first must mention that I am a fan of delicious rice, so it has to be pretty good to to rank high up. This rice has ranked in my top 5! First of all the packaging is wonderful. You can scoop out just the amount of rice that you want and then you can reseal the package. Instructions, Nutrition Facts, and a recipe are listed conveniently on the back. Warning* this product is not gluten free. I like the fact that the flavors are infused within the dry rice itself vs. having to use an additional seasoning packet. Another wonderful thing about this product is that it only has to simmer for about 10 minutes vs. the 20 minutes standard rice has to simmer. It's a very easy product to cook and the kitchen smells delightful as it's cooking. As far as the taste goes, it is delicious. It's not overwhelmingly flavorful, but you certainly get the wonderful chicken & herb flavor with every bite. I served mine tonight with some chicken breast and corn. Overall, I think this Uncle Ben's Flavor Infusions rice is excellent and I will certainly be repurchasing this flavor as well as try the additional flavors offered.
