Bulk Diet Rice, 200 g, Packaging May Vary

I'm currently on a calorie deficit, I wanted to try this rice due to the low calories and the price (£0.89 at time of writing this review) The shelf life is 6 months which is probably a reflection for the price. Packaging has cooking instructions but I just treated it like normal rice. Heated it in a pan with about 2 tablespoons of water alongside some frozen vegetables, once that came to a boil I threw in 2 eggs, some garlic powder, onion powder and soy sauce. The rice absorbed some of the flavour but it was quite tasteless on it's own, I felt using some sort of sauce would benefit the taste but the way I prepared it was great as the vegetables and egg were flavourful enough and kept the calories low while adding protein. The texture is similar to little pieces of jelly but slightly tougher, I didn't notice any scent after opening. It isn't a carbon copy of rice, but is a great replacement especially for diets. Based on my experience I'll be buying more of this and I can see it being not only great as I prepared it above, but also a great addition to soups to make them more filling for anyone else in a calorie deficit.

Instructions make no sense really. In the end I drained the moisture out of the bag and put into a saucepan for 5 minutes. No need to add additional water because the moisture within is enough to heat the rice up, I then cooked chicken breast in air fried and then chucked it all into the saucepan with some franks hot sauce, left to simmer for another 5 mins. Didn’t taste too bad, hot sauce makes a difference but the texture is nothing line rice, add some salt and sauce with chicken and it’s ok though, the portions are 1 serving and definately not two. So not cheap

Yes it looks weird and honestly tasteless but, you have to try it yourself. I was very surprised and impressed with this rice it's 20 cals and a huge 5.6g fibre per packet. Extremely tasteless but when you add them to a sauce they are just like rice. They bulked my small sweet and sour meal out nicely so extremely filling!. half a packet was definitly enough. I've seen they taste like wallpaper paste etc... in reviews but please give them a go! My brother is type 2 diabetic so perfect as 0 carbs. I've now got the Bulk noodles and pasta to try. I hope they are just as good.

Absolutely vile. Texture of raw gelatine and rubber. Followed instructions and even left for longer once I realised they weren’t softening. Totally gross and not worth the low calorie benefit.

Tried this last night, mixed in with Thai red curry. It doesn't have any flavour (as to be expected) but certainly bulks out the meal and it does feel like you're eating rice. It loses 2 stars just for how expensive it is. This was only enough for one person, and it was a small portion at that.

great value

Very short BBF dates i just purchased some and they only came with 5-6 months date. After the BB dates you really do need to bin them as they go bad very rapidly. So be warned the seller is selling the short date items at reduced prices so its not really a sale like i had originally thought You may think 5mths is plenty but when ive bought the other brands products before like Slim they too have that disgusting fishy smell so you DO need to rinse them thoroughly. But after a few washes they're fine but they have a shelf life of over a year at least if not 2 I got them cheap so i shouldnt complain too much thats why i have it 2*'s instead of 1. but didnt like the underhanded methods of selling the short life items

My first time trying this type of rice as I'm trying to lose a bit of weight and I have to say I'm surprised. I've read a bit about these types of products recently and there's a lot of different opinions. Here's mine: // Q: Do they smell fishy? A: Perhaps other brands, but this one had absolutely no smell or taste straight out of the bag even before I rinsed them. // Q: What do they taste like? A: Absolutely nothing. The idea is to cook them with enough ingredients (or a low calorie sauce) and let them absorb the taste. // Q: What is the texture like? A: Admitedly not really close to rice. Its like fairly soft jelly beans. (I boiled for 5 minutes and then fried for 5 more). // Q: Value for money? A: Depends how you look at it. £2.50 per double portion (with subscribe&Save discount) is a whole lot more than a bag of rice but if you are interested in cutting those extra few calories, then 1.25 for the -carb part of a meal is not that bad. // Q: How do you cook them? A: The packaging says to put them in hot water for a minute. I can't imagine that'll be very appetising though. I boiled for 5 mins. Meanwhile, heat a pan with small bit of oil and put in 2 minced cloves of garlic, green beans, small brocolli pieces. Fried for a few minutes to start the cooking on the veggies. Then I added some king prawns, half a lemon juice and 1tbsp of low salt soy sauce. cook that until the prawns are cooked and throw in the rice. Then I threw in 1 egg and mixed to cover everything, fried rice style. Salt+pepper to taste and serve. Won't like, it was quite good for a 15min low carb meal. // Q: Should you replace your normal carbs with these types of products? A: No. Because they contain no carbs, you'll find yourself really struggling on energy if you completely replace your carb intake by this types of rice/noodles. I will likely replace carbs 1-2 times per week maximum and hopefully shed some weight slowly and in a healthy way. Best I can say is give it a go. You aren't eating rice, but you can make it taste as good as any other rice depending on how you cook it (minus the texture).

Je suis très satisfaites de ce riz de konjac, très bonne texture et aucune odeur à l’ouverture du sachet. Le rapport qualité/prix est très bon.Je passerai d’autres commandes!

Muy bueno, mejor que el de otras marcas y a buen precio

Es ist wichtig, den „Reis“ vor der Zubereitung gut unter fließendem Wasser abzuwaschen. Dadurch verliert er seinen fischigen Geruch und kann super in Gerichten verwendet werden. Die Konsistenz und der Geschmack sind natürlich nicht wie bei echtem Reis, da muss man Abstriche machen. Aber lasst uns ehrlich sein, wir brauchen diesen Reis, weil wir zu lange keine Abstriche gemacht haben.
