found this rice 7 years
"found this rice 7 years ago, only Spanish rice I will buy. No stores in my area carry it anymore, had to order direct. More expensive, but what can I do."
Need Brown Rice Version
"I wanted to add that I think the company should also create a brown rice version of this for those more health conscious. I used to get Tasty Bite, they made a Smokey Chipotle Brown rice with black beans that was awesome but they discontinued it. Though I love that this product is Organic, I think they should also try out a brown rice version."
