What we like

  • +Very quick to prepare – just 2 minutes in the microwave
  • +Good taste with a mix of vegetables, not overly seasoned
  • +Bulk pack of 6 pouches saves space and reduces packaging
  • +Solid 4.6 rating from hundreds of buyers confirms quality

To consider

  • Salt content could be high for some (around 0.5g per serving)
  • Rice texture may be a bit soft for those who prefer al dente grains
  • Not a whole-food option – processed convenience product
Our verdict

This is a decent buy if you want a quick, reliable rice side without fuss. The 50% discount makes it cheaper than most own-brand alternatives. It is not gourmet, but it is consistent and well-rated. Grab a pack if you eat rice regularly – at £4.20 for six portions, it is hard to beat. Skip it if you prefer cooking rice from dry grains or want a low-sodium option.

Editorial review

If you are looking for a quick and tasty side dish that works well with almost any meal, this Ben's Original Golden Vegetable Rice is a solid choice. We have spotted the 6-pouch multipack at just £4.20, which is half the original list price of £8.34. That means you are saving £4.14 on a pack of six 220g pouches. Each pouch steams in the microwave in about two minutes, so it is perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a no-fuss addition to a curry, stir-fry, or grilled meat. The rice is cooked with a blend of vegetables including carrots, peas, and sweetcorn, giving it a mild, slightly sweet flavour that most people find pleasant. With over 873 customer ratings and an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars, it is clearly a popular item. The price drop looks like a genuine discount worth grabbing, especially if you use these pouches regularly. However, bear in mind that it is a processed convenience food, so it is not the same as cooking rice from scratch. The salt content is moderate, and the rice is parboiled, which means it holds up well to reheating. If you prefer a firmer grain, you might want to cook it a little less than the suggested time. Overall, at this price, it is good value for a staple kitchen item. Just check the stock levels, as deals like this tend to sell out quickly.

Price trend

The original list price was £8.34, but Amazon currently lists this pack at £4.20 – a 50% saving. That works out at 70p per pouch, which is noticeably cheaper than typical supermarket prices for similar ready-made rice. The deal seems to be a genuine markdown rather than a permanent price, so it is worth scooping up now.

Frequently Asked Questions
