How to make Spanish rice better tasting...
Our product is infused with natural flavors from bell peppers, chili powder, paprika, and garlic (which is why we consider it the best boxed Spanish rice.) However, if you wish to add additional seasoning, we recommend mixing rice with diced tomatoes, pico de gallo, or salsa verde for a saucier dish.

I’m not a fan of boxed rice but I bought this to support the Goya brand. If you don’t know why, look it up. This stuff is great and it’s quick and easy. I will be making it all the time. So glad I discovered ti.

Did a comparison on several store bought brands and La Preferida was the best tasting rice. This is very close to restaurant style rice. Excellent.
