The rice smelt mouldy as soon as we opened the packet and tasted rubbish. We used to love this product from Tesco, it was a bargain at the price and the quality as good. Something has changed recently. Change of supplier perhaps.
musty smell and mouldy taste
As others reported, this smelled and tasted very musty and mouldy. I'm used to the smell of basmati but this was definitely not right and especially the taste of mould, had to throw it away after cooking. I see it's not available now so hope Tesco are sorting it out.
Musty Rice
Bought this rice on two occasions. Both times the rice had a very musty, unpleasant smell. I know Basmati rice has a slightly odd smell, but this is not it. The rice looks as it should do and is not damp, so I can only assume the rice has been stored incorrectly prior to drying and packing and been allowed to go mouldy. Won't be buying this product again.
Great if you want a low sugar rice product.
I used it for my breakfast as I am allergic to all processed foods plus many fresh foods. This product is very low in sugar unlike other bags of rice where the sugar level is lot higher, and it is also husk free which I cannot tolerate. Fantastic I am so relieved that I have found this rice. Thank you Tesco’s.
Substandard Quality
Like other reviewers I have regularly bought this rice in the past and it has been fine. The last bag purchased had lots of discoloured grains of rice throughout the pack and had an unpleasant musty smell. Basmati is normally fragrant and fresh smelling. I reported this via the customer service number and was given a refund. I stressed that the main purpose of my call was because of many other poor reviews and I felt the issue you be raised within the purchasing / relevant department. I was told it would be raised with the store Manager which in my view is pointless, the bag was not damaged it is a quality issue with the whole supply.

I have used this product regularily for some considerable time. However, the last two bags were smelling heavily of mould and were inedible. Both bags were binned. IT is very concerning that Tesco have not acknowledged this problem ,being presented with so many similar reviews.one of my concerns also . is that I have sent several bags of this product to food banks.

Consistently good.
Don't see the poiny in paying more. Always good texture. It's rice!
No longer looks or tastes like Basmati Rice
I haven't had the moldy/musty smell fortunately but this rice has definitely been changed in my opinion. The old Tesco basmati rice was fluffy and light, this stuff is sort of hard and bland, has none of the old basmati fragrance or texture. You can even tell by looking at ti it;s not proper basmati rice, it just looks like plain white rice, so why are Tesco charging extra for it? DO Tesco think customers don't notice when they change products and the quality is reduced?
