The brown Basmati that I got at Costco is soooo good! I wasn't really
expecting a lot seeing as how it was so cheap. But Costco stuff usually is
very good quality. The only real drawback was the large size of the bag. I
put some of it in a lidded container and left the rest in the bag so that I
will have the cooking instructions.

My favorite rice is still the Texmati though and I did get some today with a
coupon. I am set with rice for a very long time.
