Great healthy product.

This is one of my favorite products I eat when I'm on a diet or watching what I eat. Each individually package comes with 2 servings. Each serving is about 200 calories which is great for any meal if you add a veggie or meat to it, its still considered a healthy meal in calories. A lot of these frozen foods have strange serving sizes but this one is a fair amount. One serving is about a cup which is what most people would eat as the starch or bread or rice portion of a meal. I also love that this product is easy to cook. It takes about five minutes in the microwave, You simply put it in upside down hit the button and wait. This brand also comes with many different choices of frozen microwavable products, I like to use this item for my rice and then sometimes another one for my vegetable knocking out two main components of a healthy meal leaving only protein to actually cook. Great time saver, great for families and people watching what they eat.

Bag Explodes in Microwave Regularly!

2

Ease of preparation and taste quality are excellent, but package construction is poor. Yesterday, my failure rate in package explosions in my microwave hit 4 out of 5 of the last packages I prepared. It's getting ridiculous when I add the clean-up time to the prep time to make this product. I have to clean the entire inside of the microwave, and then re-clean again to be sure to get all of the starchy-stuff off the insides. I like this product and the taste of the vegetable varieties but the Brown Rice, and the two times I have tried the White rice and the mixed rice have been clean-up nightmares.

Whole Grain Goodness

Birdseye Steamfresh Whole Grain Brown Rice is a great product for eating healthy when you are low on time.  I love trying to eat healthy, especially when I am cooking at home, so this is a great side dish to any dinner.  This rice has whole grains for extra nutrients and is such an easy product to make.  Just take the bag out of the freezer and place in your microwave for four minutes for the perfect rice dish.  I like adding vegetables to the rice for a great dinner.  Each serving is only 150 calories and low in fat, but really high in flavor.  The flavors are a great mixture of whole grains and tastes delicious.

A great foundation to build on.

As any architect could tell you, a structure is no better than the quality of its foundation -- and that is just as true of food as it is of buildings.  If you love good rice, it would be harder to find a better foundation for a favorite Oriental or Mexican dish than *Birdseye Steamfresh Whole Grain Brown Rice*.  You couldn't possibly find something easier or faster to fix either ... **cooking instructions**:  remove bag from freezer and place in microwave.  Heat 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes and that's it, **you're done**.  If you can read and comprehend the words:  "*This side up*", you are guaranteed success ... and it is delicious too. **STATS:** A whole cup of this rice is estimated to be a single serving (two servings per package), each serving containing 150 calories with ten calories from fat.  There is one gram total fat, zero each saturated and trans fat, zero cholesterol, 5 mg. sodium, 31 grams total carbs, two grams dietary fiber, zero sugars and four grams protein in addition to 2% (D.V.) Calcium and 4% Iron. **TASTE TIP:** *Birdseye Steamfresh Whole Grain Brown Rice* serves as a great platform for other food performers -- in my case, I topped it with Grilled Steak Fajitas which had been marinated and cooked with strips of red pepper and slices of onions.
