How Rani Foods Started…
Established in 1979 in a small grocery store in Culver City, CA by the name of Bharat Bazaar. I was 3 years old when my parents opened this shop and literally grew up in this business. I, and by that translating to Rani, was founded on a passion for quality, value and health. Working in close partnership with our suppliers enables us to offer the freshest highest quality ingredients at a superior value. We have never cut corners, always insisting on the higher quality, higher grade.
We built a brand on trust, a trust that our customers have been giving us for over 40 years. Our products are sourced from family farms, cleaned, ground & packaged in the same facility for the highest quality control and hygiene. We go around the world to bring you the exotic flavors of India & surrounding South Asian flavors.
About Us
Rani Brand, what makes us different makes us better! Unlike other companies that use co-packers, we directly import from our own factories in India, lab test and package our ingredients to ensure quality, consistency and the best flavors. We are also one of the largest wholesale suppliers of Indian Food products in the U.S. and are trusted by hundreds of the nation’s top ethnic retailers.
Did you know most products sold in the U.S. go through 3-7 different supply chains before they are sold to you? This means a higher cost and product that is older by the time it reaches you, the end consumer. We are the manufacturer, distributor & retailer of Rani Brand products. Our single vertical supply chain allows us to offer the best value and freshness, making Rani Brand Products one of a kind.

Bag is sturdy, lined with a plastic bag. Opens with zipper. Rice is very clean and the grains all the same (few broken etc… not much dust). Delicious.

Un riz très typé basmati aux grains longs qui donnent des résultats attendus lorsque l'on suit les directives….un riz aux grains longs et floconneux. Genre de riz que l'on retrouve dans les byrnis. Existe t il qqe chose de mieux…difficile à dire si l'on a pas qqe chose d'autre pour comparer. Mais pour moi,c'est très satisfaisant.

Platinum is aged 18 to 24 months. Pay the extra and get Platinum and not the Silver if you like
a true aroma basmati. Taste and aroma were wonderful when cooked. Not sticky. Lovely. Bag states best before 3 years, but I only have 11 months left. Also the bag had a doubled stitched seal at the top but the inner plastic bag is open (just so you know). Some rice was therefore out of the plastic bag and into the zippered pouch. I poured it all into a huge glass jar. The bag looked very shopworn from hanging around for 2+ years. Packaging needs improvement. Some reviewers said they had bits of plastic in their rice. I had none of that, but I poured it immediately into the glass jar. Rinses easily . I soaked it for an hour
as the bag said at least 1/2 hour. I find well aged rice often needs to be soaked for awhile. Would have given it a 5 out 5 except for poor dating and poor packaging.
NOTE: sometimes the platinum is less than the silver, not sure why, maybe price reduction … if poor expiry date or bags are very shopworm. Just guessing.

I always choose this brand when it's about rice. Not sticky at all, great value, great flavour.
Vlad (verified owner) –
Not all rice is created equally. Honestly i spent way more time than I should trying to pick a decent basmati rice. I am so glad I picked this one. The grains are light, fluffy but with a slight nuttiness to it. There is no comparison to supermarket basmati and this.

The packaging was difficult to get into, which is a good thing, though I would have liked some closure on the inner plastic bag. I was quite concerned when I first opened the bag though, because all I could smell was a nasty chemical odor. The raw rice didn't smell much like basmati either, it smelled a bit like that chemical odor from the bag itself. I loved how long and perfect the rice grains looked though, pearly and almost luminescent. Breakage occurs of course, but most were just gloriously long. The rice really showed off its true character after I washed it and soaked it. It became just wondrously fragrant, delicate, individual, and so delicious I ate it plain. Not a hint of that chemical smell at all. I've tried several varieties of basmati, some better than others – but this is by far the best I've tried yet. If your rice doesn't smell like basmati eau de toilette initially, don't be put off by first impressions, nobody eats raw rice (I would hope). I would strongly recommend buying large quantities, as you'll find yourself making a LOT of rice once you taste this brand.
