Uncle Ben’s Rice Review & Giveaway (11/4)

Did you know 9 out of 10 American’s do not consume the daily recommended amount of whole grains? That’s a big number and an even bigger deal. While life can be hectic and time consuming, Uncle Ben’s is the number one rice brand in America and it offers a wide variety of white, brown, and flavored rices in cook times that range from 30 minutes to 90 seconds, all to help bring savory side dishes and convenient main meals to your family’s table!

Personally I’m a busy wife and mother. The last thing I want after a day of school drop off and pick up, homework, laundry, housework, errands, and blogging is to spend a long period of time preparing and cooking dinner to serve my family. Although I don’t want to sacrifice a lot of time, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to sacrifice quality, health or flavor. Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice whole grain products have the quality, trust and heritage of Uncle Ben’s, which means the rice will come out perfect every time. Ready in 90 seconds with no mess or cleanup, just one serving provides 100 percent the daily whole grain recommendation, so you know your family is getting the nutrients they need all while you save time. Ready Whole Grain Medley products are also a delicious way to incorporate the daily recommended amount of whole grains into busy weeknight meals. These products are easy to make and go from the microwave to the dinner plate in just 90 seconds. Additionally, most are a good or excellent source of fiber, a good source of select B vitamins, contains 0 grams trans fat and are cholesterol free. Both of these Uncle Ben’s product lines create wonderful options for the time conscious family!

Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain Brown Rice products are another  convenient and healthy way to get 100 percent of the daily whole grain recommendation in just one serving. They are a good source of select B vitamins, gluten free, hypoallergenic, sodium free, low in fat, free of saturated and trans fats, and cholesterol free. Additionally, they are a delicious way to support a healthy heart and a well-balanced meal plan, without sacrificing taste and convenience for your family. Products include Uncle Ben’s: Boil-In-Bag Whole Grain Brown Rice, Natural Whole Grain Brown Rice, and Fast & Natural Whole Grain Instant Brown Rice.

With Thanksgiving fast approaching why not incorporate Uncle Ben’s into your beautiful family meal?

• Instead of mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole, try making a wild rice or brown rice pilaf side dish with pecans or walnuts and dried cranberries or apricots.
• Instead of regular bread stuffing, try making a wild rice stuffing with mushrooms, celery, onions, carrots and herbs.
• Use leftover turkey and brown rice to create a casserole or jambalaya to enjoy later in the week.

We received a wonderful gift pack of Uncle Ben’s rice as well as many fabulous $1 off coupons. I’ve made Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice for my family prior to this review and we’ve all enjoyed it. The few varieties we’ve had tasted wonderful and you can not beat having a fabulous side dish ready in just 90 seconds. During our review this wasn’t any different. The Basmati variety is wonderfully Indian and was my personal favorite, being so aeromatic and light. I plan to use our coupons to try the Whole Grain Medley Roasted Garlic variety, that contains both red and black quinoa, a super protein, for even more yummy benefits!
