Ben s Original Long Grain And Wild Rice Blend delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Weeknight dinner side: Serve alongside grilled chicken, baked fish, pork chops, or meatloaf for a quick and satisfying accompaniment that is ready in under 30 minutes.
Meal prep and batch cooking: Cook a full box to portion into weekday lunches; the rice reheats well and holds its texture through refrigeration and microwaving.
Casserole base: Use as the foundation for chicken and rice casseroles, turkey bakes, or vegetarian skillet meals where a seasoned rice layer anchors the dish.
Stuffing and filling: Fold into bell peppers, hollowed zucchini, or baked tomatoes for a hearty stuffed vegetable dinner with built-in seasoning.
Salad and bowl grain: Chill cooked rice and toss with chopped vegetables, vinaigrette, and protein for cold grain salads or grain bowls at picnics and buffets.
Foodservice portioning: Each 36 ounce box yields roughly 10 to 12 standard half-cup servings, making case-level planning straightforward for cafeterias and catering.

Preparation & Use

Combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let stand covered for a few minutes before serving. For microwave preparation, use a microwave-safe dish with a vented cover and follow the timing guidelines on the box; microwaves vary, so check for doneness and add a minute or two as needed. Leftover cooked rice stores refrigerated for up to four days in a sealed container and reheats well with a splash of water in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Common Applications

This blend works well as a direct side for roasted and grilled proteins, stirred into soups for added body, folded into stuffed pepper and squash recipes, or served cold in picnic-style rice salads. The built-in seasoning means it carries a dish on its own, but it also absorbs additional flavors such as sauteed onions, mushrooms, or a splash of soy sauce without clashing. In foodservice settings, it portions cleanly from steam tables and holds well under heat lamps for standard serving windows.
