Well, in Germany it appeared about 1970, under the name "Reis-Fit".
But the company who presented it doesn't claim to have invented it.
So who was the first?

Thanks!

Must say I've never seen the point

Uncle Ben's? They seem to have murdered rice in every other way...

I believe it was the Riviana company in Louisiana. They are the makers of
Success Boil-In-Bag Rice.

I contacted them but unfortunately they don't reply. On their homepage
they say they introduced it 1977 which ist far too late for having
invented it.
Well, I don't recommend it I'm just curious about this kind of food
innovations.

Newspaperarchive.com is a database of regional newspapers from all
over the United States, and a few other countries as well. You can
get the thumbnails (below) for free, but it is a subscription service.
It doesn't cost much to subscribe. The service was vastly improved
last December, making searching easier. Regional American newspapers
are important sources for regional American food.

The earliest "boil-in-bag" and "boil-in-the-bag" are both from 1958.

I don't want to post here every day (I already do somewhere else), but
you might want to know that many years ago, I solved the "hot dog"
(although my work is usually credited to Bruce Kraig), and then I've
traveled to over 90 countries and have done thousands of food
etymologies and...oh, never mind.
