Tilda Rice – Brown Basmati & Wild Rice

Actually enjoyed this over the white rice heat and eat!

Actually really enjoyed the convienance of having this.

Actually we did not enjoy this

Added a great flavour to the meal we made, yum!

after receiving in a prior black box i tried a few flavours and unfortunately my family did not enjoy any

Again it’s by pricing, but I did like the mix of rice and would def seek this out again

Again never tried this and gave it to my parents as I couldn’t eat it but they said it was really delicious and easy to make

Again too much plastic! Non recyclable materials

Again, I would never have thought to try this but it is so good. Not as dry as plain rice so a nice alternative

All ready to eat uses so much plastic that can’t be easily recycled - we’d leap at a more biodegradable option

Already love Tilda will continue to purchase in our weekly shop.

Also had a prior rice as a salad, very convenient

Although convenient to cook we did not like the flavour of this product.

Although very nice, not a budget friendly or child taste friendly for a family of 5. I would perhaps buy in the future for work lunches

Always have some in our pantry

Always make rice from scratch so would probably not ever buy ready to heat rice products

Always perfect, tasty and good size packaging

An easy and tasty product

As good as uncle bens

As much as they are tasty and convenient I don't like the thought of my food being heated in plastic so choose to steam rice on the stove

Beautiful flavour & texture

Better than what I expected. Little concerned about the preservation aspect of ready to eat products so prefer to cook rice from scratch.

Big fan of ready to heat rice!

Brilliant! Tasty, convenient, will be a staple in our pantry now

Bulk buy rice. You just put it in water, I mean come on it's already ready to heat!

Coconut flavour is great

convenience

Convenient

Convenient

Convenient and tasty. But not enough for a family so will continue to boil my own rice.

Convenient for lunch

Convenient for lunch.

Convenient, nice tasting, not much oil. Would prefer oil free.

convienent, easy and tasty

Couldn't believe how good this was

Currently we have no use for this product and cant see us using it for our household, but we have recommended it to others. It tasted great and was so easy, a family portion we might be more likely to purchase.

Daughter took the rice before anybody else had a chance

Definitely nicer than the other brands

Delicious

Delicious

Delicious

Delicious and easy

Delicious and quick addition to a very quickly prepared meal - and much better than the Uncle Ben's pouches which I found very dry.

Delicious and seems so much more healthy than plain white rice. Also looks more appealing on a plate.

Delicious and so easy

Delicious flavour, was not expecting it to be as nice! Will be buying for sure

Delicious, easy to cook, simple instructions

Delicious, everyone enjoyed it

Delicious. The price is great. Quite often 3 for $4. Love the different flavors too

Delish, quick and easy

Did not enjoy this product, was very bland & dry

Did not enjoy this, texture

Didn’t like the taste

Didn’t like the taste of it

Didn’t really like this

Didn’t taste great

Didn't enjoy the flavour

Didn't enjoy this product

Didnt like brown rice i prefer white rice

Didn't like it but did recommend it to a family member with food allergies and she loved it

Didn't like the flavour, other flavours in this brand might be nicer

Didnt like the texture was a bit chewy

Didn't taste any different to normal rice to us. Handy, but hubby's a big water do would need two packs for a family meal, making it not so economical.

Different flavours and texture but doesn’t match my usual brand

Do not buy ready to eat rice due to unrecyclable packaging

Don’t like added flavour to rice. Plain rice goes best with flavoursome food, such as curry, so wouldnever buy a flavoured rice.

Don’t like the plastic pouch

Don’t realy enjoy this product personally but my kids did enjoy it

Don’t tend to purchase single use packets to help reduce waste

Don't eat rice much but love fast and convenient

Dont lik the extra plastic involved in the ready to heat range of products, cooking rice is not hard to do from dry

Dont like the idea of precooked rice

dont like waste and pack size not convenient for our family

Don't really buy pre cooked rice much

dont really purchase ready to heat and eat rice due to waste vs convenience factor

Don't use often as so much plastic for one meal!

Easy and convienient to use, doesn't have a 'plastic' flavour, fluffs up well

Easy and yummy. Good change to plain basmati rice

Easy to open and easy heating instructions

Easy to open pouch. Cooked well as per instructions

easy to use

Easy to use and didnt taste like plastic

easy to use if in a hurry

enjoyed this product

Enjoyed this, its a bit different with the variety of contents, but made for a welcome change to a single starch as a side to a meal. Will buy again.

Even the kids liked this rice, so easy to heat up

Excessive packaging

Family didn't like the chewiness of the rice. I liked it but it's not something I would buy often as I'm the only one that eroded eat it

Family size pack would be fantastic

Fan of the convenience, but not the concept/price

Fantastic rice I will be buying again

Far superior flavour to Uncle Bens!

Find the rice is quite dry when cooked in these pouches.

Fine but on a diet and must have oil so very high

First time eating heat and eat rice and I was surprised that it was well cooked and tasted just the same as dry rice. The portion was not enough for a family of 5 so I assume I would need to buy a couple for a family meal. That makes the cost of ready to eat more expensive to feed a family. It would be great for emergency dinners or last minute meal ideas on the go or in a rush.

Flash with the wild rice in it for a salad. Glams it up

flavours werent very nice

Followed cooking instructs but it exploded everywherr in a gooey mess

For me rice is rice. I always buy whatever Is on special and get one of each flavour. No preference

Found it easy to quickly whip up a stir fry for dinner and saved some for lunch. The taste was great and so fast

Found it super easy and tasted good I might use this if we were heading away but I find dry rice pretty easy to cook and my kids are not biggest fan of this one. Might be a good idea to jazz up the normal rice that we have

Found it very dry and tasteless

Found satisfying. And so easy to prepare.

Found this a really easy way to have brown rice. Rice was quick and nice and fluffy.

Found this rice ok but only because we used it in a stir fry. It would be too bland and chewy to eat by itself

Found this rice very soft and a barley texture

Freshly cooked rice is still better. Will never buy ready cooked rice.

Generally don’t buy ready to eat products this one was quite good and so convenient

generally don't use ready to heat rice but would consider it if travelling (and w/o our rice cooker)

Get paknsave to stock tilda please

good blend, quick and tasty

good flavour

Good flavour. A little bit of oily residue though

good for lunch and the wild rice mix added different texture which i liked

Good for something different but we don’t use brown rice very often, however will look for other rices and flavours from your brand

Good product and looks interesting on the plate!

Good texture and flavour

good to have on hand to use as base to a salad with chickpeas and veges

Good to try. Not to sure if buy again

GORGEOUS!!!! I was really surprised & impressed - so much flavour, I could easily have enjoyed it on it's own. Will definitely be a staple for our family from now on, uber-impressed. Yum!

Great and very convenient

Great convenient product. Tasty and healthy.

Great flavour

Great flavour

Great flavour and texture.

Great for a quick dinner

Great for a Quick meal when your in a rush

Great for adults to have with a quick curry, kids like Uncle Bens

Great for camping, and my kids loved the flavour

Great for convenience but for every day use would still prefer regular dry rice

Great for convenience but I am trying to reduce our household plastic if they could offer a home compostable packet then I'd be more likely to purchase. I cook and freeze rice portions for my work lunches

Great for lunch at work

Great for my teenage daughter for a healthy meal on the go.

Great for needing dinner in a hurry

Great for work, but prefer smaller sizes so I don't waste food

Great idea good when ur in a rush

great if your feeding up to 2 people - but for a family it isn't practical

Great nutty flavour

Great opportunity to get good grains into my kids that don't cause me to spend money and accidentally cook it wrong.

Great product and so quick considering how long it takes to cook from dry

Great product but am trying to consume less plastic so that's my main reason for not purchasing it

Great product very handy serving and very tasty

Great product, but I would have liked a smaller size pouch - it was way too much for one person/meal

Great product, thoguh prefer to cook own rice to achieve preferred texture

Great product. I like the short list of ingredients. Am always a bit suspicious of heating/storing/cooking food in plastic.

Great quick lunch option with some Tuna. Price would be the primce factor for repeat purchases. larger resealable packing options would also be a plus.

Great selection of flavoured rice. Make a great quick easy lunches

Great size portion

GREAT taste and HEALTH too! Because of health reasons I Need to start eating HEALTHY!

Great taste i loved the brown rice, great product for a quick easy meal

Great taste, convenient

Great taste, quick and easy to make

Great texture with the wild rice really enjoyed it

Great to bulk out a meal when I mis-calculate how much food we need for dinner. Also I swap out nacho chip for rice

Great with tomato & basil tinned tuna. Creates a nice texture.

had a lot of flavor.

had tried other tilda flavous but not seen this one. like the variety from normal white rice

Hadn’t even heard of Tilda. Really enjoyed it.

Hadn't really thought of using ready to heat rice but like the the mix with wild rice. A higher ratio of packaging (compared to dry rice) does discourage me from purchasing ready to heat brands. Would be good if the packaging was home compostable, then I would purchase it.

Hadn't tried it before but was easy and yummy would buy again

Hadn't tried these packs before but they were really convenient!

Handy but prob wont buy

Has a funny cardboard taste

have a rice cooker and lots of dry rice but this was quick and easy

Have been unable to find Tilda in supermarket

have rice cooker.

Have tried other flavours and loved them, great to see a brown rice option, I wasn't aware it existed. I tend not to cook brown rice purely because it's more difficult and often ends up too crunchy. This changes that!

Have tried others from the Tilda brand that were nice

Haven’t purchased this type of product before, but was impressed and will probably buy from now on.

Healthy simple and tastes amazing. Used the rice in a chicken stirfry. Quick easy dinner side. Already added it to our shopping list.

Heated in the microwave as per instructions, the rice was not nice, dry and chewy. Would never buy this.

Heats well, rice is tender. Nice flavour. Good portion size. Packaging easy to open.

Hi I'd rather cook from scratch. Sorry

Horribly bland

Hubby said it heated up great

Husband liked it the most.

Husband very much enjoyed it

I wouldn't usually use an instant rice, but this was so easy and delicous I have bought 2 pkts to have on hand for emergencies

I actually bought this brand a few months ago for my emergency kit. Their flavoured rice is really tasty and a great thing to have in your kit.

I added it to chicken soup

I always buy Tilda. It is such a convenient product and a perfect size. I have tried other brands but Tilda is the best

I always thought it was over priced, food what it essentially is...... but after a rubbish, crap day with my kids, I defrosted some left over curry and 'made', this rice. It's worth it's weight in gold

I am disappointed your packing isn’t easily recyclable

I am on a low carb no sugar diet at tyhe moment so gave this to a friend to try. She loved it

i am trying to stay away from buying packaged food, cause of the packaging

I ate the whole packet by myself in one go so not sure about the packet giving the impression that it contains 2 servings

I buy rice from the bulk bins to avoid plastic and pasta in cardboard boxes. Please package you product with the environment in mind. We are going to drown in our on waste before we know it.

I buy this rice all the time so convenient and healthy with my busy life

I buy whatever brand is on special

I can see the appeal for convenience sake, but I prefer the taste of home cooked rices.

I did like the flavoring in this rice and it heated nicely

I didn’t enjoy the rice and I don’t buy ready to eat meals

I didn’t like the smell when I opened the pouch and the portioning was a little too big

I didn’t like the taste

I didn’t like this flavour

I didnt enjoy the taste of this

I didn't enjoy this product. I prefer to cook my own from scratch

I didnt like the tast of the one i had, but will try others

I didn't like the taste of it

I didn't like the taste, and I don't like the wasteful packaging.

I didn't mind the rice. However, I'm not a big fan of ready to heat rice, and the texture doesn't feel quite right. My wife a d I were happy to eat it, but it took a bit of work with the 2 and 5 year olds.

I didn't particularly enjoy the flavour and it didn't go down very well with the 7yo. I would buy it if it was on special as opposed to white rice though

I don’t buy ready to heat rice due to the small serve and large amount of packaging

I don’t buy these products as it is not enough food to feed my family. I buy rice in bulk

I don’t eat rice

I don’t eat rice bran oil. Hubby enjoyed it with healthy homemade butter chicken.

I don’t find it as nice as plain cooked rice, the texture is different. It’s quick & convenient but not my thing

I don’t like heating plastic in the microwave which is the biggest reason I don’t like these types of products

I don’t normally like brown rice but would purchase this again.

I don’t tend to buy these but my partner does when he works away from home, he finds them conscientious to use where there is no oven to cook with

I don’t usually buy ready to eat rice. But I like to have some in my cupboard incase it is needed.

I dont buy ready to heat rice packets because of the plastic packaging that cannot be recycled.

I don't generally buy this type of food, I find the taste lacking compared to what we can do at home. Plus single serving rubbish bothers me.

I don't have a microwave but for those that do this would be a great product

I dont hink its worth the money, Ill just cook rice.

I don't like brown rice, it never tastes like it is properly cooked. This was the same unfortunately.

I don't like ready to eat rice or pasta as they have an unpleasant aftertaste.

I dont like ready to heat rice - prefer fresh rice

I don't like that it is heated in the plastic bag. I like the concept and I sent the rice to school with my son who enjoyed it but they are discouraged to take packaged food items to school, hence why I wouldn't purchase it in the future. Also, the pack is too small to feed our family of four.

I don't like the packaging being for one use and then throw away so I wouldn't buy this

I dont mind cooking rice the old fashioned way

I don't normally buy ready to heat rice as it is easy enough to cook however it is convenient at times

I don't purchase ready to eat products, but if I really had to I would definitely buy this brand

I dont really like these packet rice product but this was particularly nice and tasty!

I dont really use these products, it was nice though.

I don't think any ready made rice can beat making dry rice. The texture is never good.

I don't typically enjoy heat and eat rice, and this product failed to convert me unfortunately .

I don't usually buy ready to heat rice as it isn't the best value for money and it also involves more packaging as a single serve. It's super convenient though and I liked the taste so I'd buy it again if I was wanting a quick rice meal

I don't usually buy, cook or eat precooked rice. I was impressed with the taste and how convenient it was to whip up a filling meal very quickly. My daughter can make a healthy meal using this product too.

I enjoy ready to heat rice, but have to admit - like this Tilda one, they are all bland if you were to eat them on their own - I feel you have to add your own flavours such as tuna fish etc to them to make them tastier. I like to think also that Brown Rice is a lot better for me Health wise than eating white rice

I enjoyed it but the kids didn't so will probably stick to white rice until they are older.

I enjoyed the convience of the rice packet, however it was too small for two adults and two children so just doesn't work, however if I was eating alone or for two adults it would have been fine.

I enjoyed the Kerala coconut rice recipe on the Tilda website

I enjoyed the rice however I can't say the same for my family so because I feed 8 I will stick with the food I know won't go yo waste

I enjoyed the taste but the black rice in it was putting me off! We had Indian pantry moths all through our pantry a few months ago and the main places they were were in our rice so seeing all the black rice made me think of them!!! Convenient product though!

I enjoyed this and enjoyed the flavour and something new to try. We are family of 7 so would have to buy a few pouches to feed us

I enjoyed this brand, I will buy it again

I especially like this flavour of rice compared to the previous plain flavour. But in general I dont buy ready to heat rice as I dont like the texture.

I feel guilty about the plastic packaging

I find the pouches have a funny smell and consistency of rice. I prefer rice cups. My kids didn't like the taste of this one.

I found it a bit dry on its own but imagine it would make a great side with a chilli/curry

I found this a bit sticky/gluggy not light and fluffy.

I found this very convenient when I was in a hurry as a side for dinner and it is very tasty

I generally don't buy the single use heat and eat rice as don't like the texture or taste of it. I do buy boil in the bag now and then, but mainly prepare from scratch

I generally only use ready to hear rice for those occasions where I am less prepared. In those situations though it is great to have a wholegrain/healthier option.

I got the coriander one, which at first glance looked like it had way too much coriander in it but it actually went perfect with my chicken korma

I had not heard or seen of this product beforr receiving it in the black box. Was easy to heat. a bit difficult to open, but lovely flavour and a point of difference with the dark rice grains. Will buy this instead of my usual brand if the price is competitive

I hadn't heard of/noticed this brand before so it was good to try it. I also like to use the ready to heat rice pouches to make fritters for myself and my kids. They are good to make for babies too turns rice into finger food! I add egg, grated cheese/ carrot, zuchinni etc

I hardly buy ready to heat rice bags but this product was great and very fast.

I have a rice cooker but this was great as a quick option that added a nice flavour twist and filling to a salad without the hassle. Would be good for at work

I have a rice cooker, which is quick and easy so dont use ready to heats sorry. This was yum and easy though

I have already been and purchased more of this. I love how it comes in so many flavors

I have decided to go Keto so I will not be buying more rice.

I have just bought a stash of these for lunches, so fantastic!

I have never bought the ready to eat rice pouches before but liked the convenience of it and would have it in my pantry if time was a factor

I have never tried brown basmati before as most of the brown rice is made for rice milk and porridge, but the brown basmati has got a good flavour to add to stirfries.

i have previously purchased this brand i like it very much i just haven’t purchased it in the last 3 months

I have purchased the Tilda rice for my husband for awhile as its great for his lunch. First time I've tried the brown and it was nice as a salad

I have tried other Tilda rice flavours, and love the fresh flavours and taste

I have tried this brand in the black box which inspired me to try more flavours unfortunately I only like 1 flavour and have returned to buying uncle beans

I have tried your chili and lime rice in the past and loved it but i would never of tried this brown basmati and wild rice prior to this black box sample. i have always found standard brown rice to be grainy and unpleasant but your blend was delicious. it looked nicer than i expected when i turned the packet upside down and could see it through the packet - maybe you should have a small viewing window on the front and i probably would have tried it earlier..

I haven't liked any of the flavours of these, my husband likes them well enough, but has never said "wow, get this again please"

I havent seen this brand before, But I did enjoy it so I i will keep an eye out for it

I just didn't like the taste my kids didn't either.

I just fine packaged precooked rice a little firm and chewy. It just doesn’t “fluff” the same way fresh cooked rice does

I like that it has instructions for how to cook if you don't have a microwave. The taste was good and not overpowering.

i like that you can see the rice through the bottom of the packet

I like that you could use a frypan instead of the microwave

I like the amount in a cup

I like the idea of ready to heat rice, and have brought it in the past. I did not particularly enjoy the flavour of the wild rice. It was a bit too earthy, only 1 member of our family thought it was alright tasting. Also with a family of 5 and 3 of them being large eaters it becomes uneconomical to buy 3 sachets for one meal. I would like to try the other flavours though they looked interesting and could be nice for a singular lunch meal.

I like the plastic containers of the cups.

I like this concept but would prefer to see a more environmentally friendly option.

i like wild rice so was a great combo

I liked it but the rest of the family prefer white or brown. I buy brown quick cups.

I liked it very much

I liked it, however it doesn't suit all my cooking needs. Id prob ourhcase every now and again

I liked that I could use it in a pan and not the microwave.

I liked the brown and wild rice. But I much prefer to cook my rice from scratch as I think it tastes better. This would be great for camping though.

I liked the combination with the wild rice it broke the solidness of the brown rice and made it more enjoyable. mixed with some tinned tuna. yummy easy cheap lunch.

I liked the mix in the packet

I liked the mixed rice, but the pack had a slightly unusual flavour- I’ve associated it with being processed. I don’t buy convenience foods if I can help it, purely because of the packaging. Cooking dried rice isn’t difficult.

I liked the packaging, it was very appealing to the eye, the colours were nice. The rice itself was tastier than expected and I couldn’t tell it was microwaved

I liked the quickness of the product and taste

i liked the texture and taste , very handy

I liked the textures. So convenient

I liked the variety of texture

I liked this rice, but the rest of my family didn't so I wouldn't purchase this based on that unless just cooking for myself.

I liked this rice, it was a very good addition to a qucik easy meal on a busy night.

I love easy things like this for quick lunches or dinners when in a hurry. These were the perfect size and yummy

I love how after following the instructions the rice was cooked through evenly, other ready to heat rice products can be chewy in places.

I love that this product makes brown rice convenient, quick to cook, and turns out perfect everytime. I used to buy this product for these reasons but now I have become more conscious re the packaging that is wasted each time I have a serve of rice and goes to landfill.

I love the convenience of the quick heat pouches as cooking rice is not a strong point of mine, the taste is also excellent! Very tasty and versatile

I love the ease and taste of this product but it’s too expensive when feeding more than two people

I love the wild rice component

I love this brand in all flavours, never dry and the tastes compliment my meals, I serve this with any meat and salad /veg combination. The usual price of 2 for $4 means my pantry always stocks the full range.

I love this one. Wild rice is so good for you but so hard to find in the supermarket

I love this rice and will continue to buy it. Thanks blackboz

I love this rice it’s a regular product in my pantry.

I love to Have convenient foods in the cupboard. This one ticks all the boxes. It tastes great and is quick

I love wild rice but find it a pain to cook. Will definitely buy this again.

I loved how convenient this was! Especially in winter when you get home and its dark and you want dinner in a hurry.

I loved how easy it was! Will keep some in the cupboard from now on

I loved it, was harder to convince kids to try it.

I loved the convenience of this product although I had never purchased ready to heat rice before. I would consider having this in the pantry as a healthy, quick meal side dish

I loved the easiness of this and it had a lovely flavour and texture

I loved the flavour in this rice. It’s great, have already purchased more

I LOVED the nutty 'bite' the wild rice gave to this product

I loved the variety of the rices

i loved the wild rice taste in this pack

I loved this - perfect for my work lunches. I will buy some and keep at my desk for quick easy healthy lunches!

I loved this combo. Is a nice addition to boost up a dinner to something more special.

I loved this rice. I normally buy long grain white rice, but hate the mess of cooking it. The pouch is clean, easy and quick and tastes great. I'll definitely be looking for these in my future shops :)

I make a special trip to countdown each week to specifically buy tilda rice as pak nsave Westgate does not stock it. It’s the only brand I eat and I AMA bodybuilder do I eat a lot of rice. I love all the flavours and combinations possible for my meals. My kids love them too and have them in their thermos with meat and Veges for school lunches.

I might buy the product to have at work or emergency kit, but I wouldn’t buy on a regular basis.

I mixed the rice up with a tin of flavoured tuna... was really enjoyable, tasty and filling. I would probably buy this to keep at at work as an emergency lunch.

I much prefer freshly cooked rice, this had a strange texture to it.

I normally make rice from scratch as I always have rice in the cupboard (and very cheap) however I did find this very convenient. I will keep a couple in the cupboard for when I need to whip up a quick meal

I often dont buy the ready to heat because I have a rice cooker. But my children love rice so its convenient. I was most impressed with how moist it still was, because rice cups which i sometimes use can be very dry.

I only buy ready to heat rice products for the kids, they didn't like the Tilda mainly due to the wild rice

I only buy Tilda ready rice as we’re a super busy household. By the time we walk through the door at 4.45pm, if dinner isn’t served in 15mins, my preschoolers is too tired to eat. Although had been hesitant to try the Wild Rice due to having a preschooler - surprisingly, everyone enjoyed it!

I personally don’t like rice but the rest of the family really enjoyed this rice with our stir fry meal

I planned to use the rice last night for dinner, had everything almost ready and then opened the rice ready to stir fry it and upon opening the packet it was mouldy. Expiry was 03 2020 however because it was quite moist in the packet I feel this is the reason it was mouldy. Not very good

I prefer cooking rice in authentic way as it tastes much better

I prefer fresh cooked rice

I prefer the smaller serving size for an individual

I prefer to cook from dry rice rather than using the microwave to heat things. We use the microwave as little as possible

I prefer to cook my rice from dry

I prefer white rice.

I purchase for convenience over flavour as I feel dry rice is much nicer but takes longer. I go for what is on special. Lemon and herb Tilda rice is my favourite

I quite enjoyed this rice. I do normally try to purchase plain rice with nothing added. I will alternate this brand with uncle bens, dependant on which is on special.

I quite liked this - it seemed quite dry vs other pouches. If I was to buy would buy it infrequently - normally buy brown. Liked to mix of rices in it

I rarely buy ready to heat rice due to the additives

I rarely buy ready to heat rice due to the cost vs dry rice. But I do if there is a very good special on as I love the convenience

i rather purchase dry rice

I really appreciate the convenience of this product. It is very flavourful and does not taste overly processed. I like that the wild rice flavours are mixed in with the brown rice. A generous portion size too

I really didn’t like the flavour of this product, it tasted too raw and dry and the brown rice seemed a bit over cooked

I really enjoyed the Tulsa brown rice and didn’t feel bloated. Kids enjoyed it to

I really enjoyed this as a quick and easy lunch :)

I really enjoyed this flavour and the texture was really good. Will def but again

I really enjoyed this looking forward to trying more in the future

I really enjoyed this rice and will buy it when needed

I really like the convenience of these pouches but the plastic waste stops me from getting them. more sustainable packaging would definitely affect me buying a product

I really liked the balance of the basmati and wild rice. Nice combination

I received another Tilda type in a previous black box - and have purchased a few of these for quick meals when I run out of time to cook from scratch

I recently saw these in Coles while I’m holiday in Australia- we ended up getting some for dinners and the kids loved them. We recognised it because of the black box.

I relly enjoyed the taste

I see these in countdown and they are cheaper than the usual products I buy so was glad to try and find the product is ok. I didn't want to buy it if it was yuck. Its got quite a varied range too. Will buy again.

I so enjoyed the Tilda brown basmati and quinoa rice I received I brought four more. Three different from what I received

I tend to just cook rice from scratch

I think the oil used to stop the rice sticking gives it a really unpleasant flavour, and a dry mouthfeel

I thought it had a pleasant taste and wasnt dry or processed tasting

I thought it was a nice addition to my curry. I'm not sure if my kids and husband would enjoy it however

I thought it was good for when you need rice in a hurry

I thought it was quite plain and I didn’t know how to make it taste better

I thought it was tasty and would def purchase this product as it's so easy and tasty

I thought it was yum, and my kids 2 and 5 ate it, which is great for a Mum.

I tried to buy it at New World St Martins ChCh but couldn’t find it

I tried to find this in pak n save hornby to purchase some more but unfortunately they did not have it

I try not to use these sorts of heat & eat products. When I do I tend not to heat in the plastic packaging.

I use rice like this at work all the time, hasn't noticed this brand, usually just get uncle bens, but the price is good with this brand and the flavors really refreshing and good with tuna

I use to think that brown rice was yuck but this was delicious. and such a great alternative to white rice! this will be on our shopping list going forward.

I used this in a brown rice salad and it was very easy and tasty

I usually by boil in the bag rice but these are just as good

I usually eat ready to heat rice for a quick lunch meals and the package size of Tilda rice was a bit too large for that

I usually use 'ready to heat' rice in single portion sizes, for lunches.

I was a bit concerned about the flavour as never having tried it before but it was yummy

I was okay, but prefer to cook from scratch.

I was pleasantly surprised by this product

I was pleasantly surprised on this product - would definitely purchase as I loved the taste and the health factor. Tried to buy it at my local New World already but could not find it so will definitely be keeping an eye out.

i was pleasantly surprised was better than i thought and given me a new option for lunch

I was pleasantly surprised with this product as I sued it in a sautéed vegetable dish. However, I do not usually buy ready to heat rice products as I have a Japanese rice cooker

I was pleasantly surprised. Great product

I was really pleasantly surprised at the delicious nutty flavour. I have to admit it didn’t smell great when I opened the packet but it far exceeded my expectations. I’ve never bought precooked rice before but I would buy this product

I was really reluctant to use this but felt I needed too because of getting it in the black box! My husband, mother and I loved it!! Will definitely be buying it!!

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this. I usually don't purchase prepackaged rice products but I can see that this would be a great lunch treat to take to work.

I was surprised at how flavoursome this rice was considering it was a ‘heat and eat’ product. So quick and convenient when time is limited. I can see us using this as a pantry staple when a quick meal is needed.

i was very surprised with the flavour of the product, i expected it to taste like plastic but it was quite fresh and 'natural rice like' in flavour

I wasnt really a fan, but I would try it again.

I will only buy Tilda due to price and rice options

I will try this brands other flavours next time (if they have them?) as brown rice was not a favourite with the family.

I won’t buy this because my kids won’t eat it

I would buy this after trying it

I would buy this as something to use if I am in a hurry and haven’t got anything else prepared and it would most likely sit in my cupboard for quite a few months before it got used.

I would buy this but for a family meal the size is too small. It was delicious mixed with tuna.

I would like to see it in a compostable package

I would love the convenience of a heat and eat rice product, particularly a healthy one like this. But I can’t bear the idea of all the plastic packaging waste. If the packaging was reusable I would purchase

I would prefer to cook my own rice rather than have rice sent to England then back to New Zealand

I would purchase this again, definetly was nice to have the mix of different textures.

I would try other flavors

I’m always a big fan on rice and this product was delish. Even my son loved it

I’m not a fan of brown rice because of the flavour

I’m not a fan, sorry. I tend to make my own but stick with basmati

I’m not convinced heating plastic is safe - would love to see another option

I’m the only one in the house who like brown/wild rice and always have a packet of basmati/Jasmine ready to heat packs for convenience if I’ve run out of time to make rice. My husband actually liked this which really surprised me so will definitely buy again, yay!

I’ve had this combination in salads in summer and forget that it exists. Kids not so keen on it but it’s good in summer salads as a base

I’ve never had ready to heat rice before. Was good to try but don’t know if I will switch.

I'd be more interested in buying this if the packaging was more environmentally friendly

I'd buy this in a smaller cup size for lunches

Id love to see a flavored option. We really like the garlic rice by Tasty Bite for example. I like that this product has wild rice mixed in - great flavor and texture! I've now looked into other Tilda rice products too because I liked this alot

If these come in a larger size I would definatly be buying these again and again.

I'm happy cooking my own rice, so this is the reason this product does not speak to me.

I'm looking forward to trying a different flavour. Have a click and collect with 2 pouches to pick up today!

I'm not a big ready to heat rice fan, however I needed something extra with my lunch and the convenience of it was too hard to resist. I would buy and keep a packet for those just in case times.

I'm not a fan of pre cooked rice sorry :(

I'm not usually a fan of the wild rice mix, but did enjoy this one.

I'm not usually a fan of wild drive but this was a nice addition to our family favourite stir try. I would purchase plain white rice next time though.

I'm pretty good at cooking rice. So cheaper and easier to buy a big bag

I'm sure others would enjoy this rice, I'm personally just not not a fan of brown rice myself

I'm thinking of stopping purchasing this unless it comes in a paper bag.

In the past heat to eat rice has tasted plastic and chewy. This was delicious

In the past I have bought the cups but found them really dry, this isn't

It had a nice texture and was super easy to prepare. Too much packaging and too many needed for a family of family though

It had a pleasant taste.

It has a delicate steamed flavor, it is really nice

It is a fine ready to eat rice. However being a single serve means its not going to be used for a dinner. These type of ready to eat rice packs i have brought before and ended up never using. Convenience is good but nothing is as good as cooking it yourself.

it is not unpleasant, just not a taste I am use to. I guess the healthy aspect would encourage me to try it more, but not so much the taste

It is very convenient and was tasty, but also an expensive way to buy rice when cooking it is not particularly hard.

It just want my flavor and texture that I enjoy

It okay easy, however felt rice wasn't fully cooked.

It reminded me of the convenience of ready to heat rice packets. I might buy it in the future but usually we use dry rice.

It tasted good. Nice with a healthy and convenient option.

It tasted great and convenience was great but cost would probably be a barrier to purchase plus the plastic vacuum wrap freaks me out.

It tasted like it was tainted with plastic

It tasted nice and was easy to use. I try to buy brown rice so it was a nice alternative to try

It tasted okay but not a favourite in our house

it was a bit dry on its own. but it did have a nice crunch.

It was a little plain, but putting it with a can of tuna made it a decent quick lunch

It was a nice change.

It was a tasty change from normal basmati

It was actually rather nice but I don’t believe ready to heat rice is healthy. Don’t like the processes element...

It was amazing have not had brown rice before

It was delicious and filling. Very easy to cook and had the right consistency when ready.

It was delicious as part of the mushroom rice balls we made but I prefer to make rice from scratch in the rice cooker.

It was far nicer than I expected

It was fine, I just find these products too expensive

It was good and convenient I don't have a microwave so heated at work handy for work lunches

It was good but I normally just buy the dry bulk rice packs.

It was good but I prefer it mixed into food rather than on its own.

It was good but prefer cooked rice instead

It was great and would use occasionally, but not regularly

it was great, the kids loved it. They ate it and asked for more, which is a rarity with fussy eaters

it was incredible, have already bought it twice since receiving the black box and will continue to purchase for a quick easy flavour hit to add to stirfrys and curries

It was lovely rice and I will be using it again

It was much better flavour then any I had in the past

It was nice and I would try again

it was nice but not really something we eat much

It was nice but the difference in chucking rinse in the rice cooker and ready to eat no more convenient

It was nice I’d prefer more flavour

It was nice to try however we do not purchase items like this due to plastic packaging, we try to use as little plastic as possible

It was nice, but I prefer to cook my own.

It was nicer than uncle bens which I find is quite stodgy

It was not a bad tasting product, I just prefer rice made from scratch.

It was ok but I’m not a fan of brown rice

It was ok but my hubby doesn't like wild rice

It was quick and easy. While my preference is to cook fresh rice, this is a good last.minute pantry dinner!

it was quite nice, wouldn't rant and rave but better than expected
