Minimalist shoppers often pay for quality and longevity, and a premium, well-sourced basmati that you actually use frequently tends to deliver better value than a cheaper commodity rice you would not choose as often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI prefer to buy in bulk to reduce packaging. Is a 32 oz bag too small?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you use rice very heavily, a 32 oz bag may be on the smaller side.
