Frank Zappa warned us about eating/drinking Yellow Snow, but yellow rice is still okay I think.

We like the Mahatma yellow rice better. Throw a can of chicken in it, and you have a whole meal. Lasts a long time in storage.
Very authentic. Top it with black beans and you've got a Cuban meal unto itself. And generally speaking I like Vigo brand products.

I give up.
It's flavored. I love those yellow rices !!
The yellow is saffron. I found small bottles of saffron at Tuesday Morning store some years ago at a discounted price. I bought every jar they had. I'm still using it. Just a pinch is all that is needed. My grandmother use to add turmeric to pasta and potatoes to get the buttery look. It only takes a smidge.

I saw these little jars of saffron at OUR Tuesday morning last week but forgot to grab em and when I got all involved looking at other goodies in there arrrrgh!!
Thanks for the reminder! I’ll go back and look
I got .14 oz jars marked down to $4.99. Pure saffron from Spain. I remember the manager said no one bought this, what is it? Watch for Pure Vanilla Bean Paste or Vanilla Crush. Also the Jam Shoppe brand of fruit butters. I scour TM food shelves. They are not as stocked or varied as it use to be but I do find a gem or two now and then.

Saute up some onions and bell peppers, add some Cajun seasoning, plus the canned chicken, and add to the rice, before it begins to boil. That's one of my one pot pantry meals. I buy Mahatma yellow rice by the case at Sam's.

Pretty good with pork cubes/chunks, too.

I always brown any beef or pork before I use it in a recipe because it improves the flavor by orders of magnitude. Just takes a little extra time but the pay-off is big.

Love it!!
Has a saffron flavor to it. Very, very good in my personal opinion.

Heck yeah! Chicken and yeller rice?! Born and raised in the south and regularly ate it…IDK if it was the south Florida Cuban influence or what…but yes.

The Mahatma brand looks like it’s packaged in foil. How long have y’all successfully stored in it’s original package?

They also make a cilantro and lime rice which is very good
Also Cuban/Caribbean authentic in flavor.
Several years. The seasonings will darken but it doesn't affect the flavor. Just as you cook it, before you cover it, make sure you stir the rice so that the seasoning completely dissolves. No biggie.

I buy by the case. The oldest case that I'm using now expired in 2020, but it's still good.

But isn’t it great to discover a new pantry item?

Make sure it is from saffron.
This is a piece of obscura from Flutrackers.com from years ago. Someone reportedly genetically crossed rice and daffodils to get a GMO yellow rice. Yes I know the flowers are poisonous. They're one of the few deer will not eat. I used to hid the tulips in the daffodils.

Do you have the black beans and rice in your stores?
