A Dozen Cousins crafted different flavored seasoned meals cooked with avocado oil. 

Growing up, our kitchen was a delicious melting pot of Creole, Caribbean, and Latin American cooking. As I got older and learned the importance of eating naturally, I hated that it was so hard to find convenient foods that were both healthy and authentic. I started A Dozen Cousins so that it would be easier to enjoy authentic cultural recipes made with whole ingredients.

P.S. The brand name is inspired by my daughter, her 11 cousins, and all the great family dinners we enjoy together. Also, it's really fun to say ;)

A Dozen Cousins' products, particularly their beans and rice, are generally praised for their convenience, taste, and nutritional value. They are easy to prepare and are seen as a great option for quick meals. While the brand's strength lies in its taste and easy preparation, many customers have noted that the flavors could be improved, with some finding them bland. There's also criticism over the high sodium content and the use of non-recyclable packaging.

Great taste made for a good base of a meal

Love the beans! Super easy to make and has great flavor. Always my go to for burritos. 

On the other hand I am not the biggest fan of their rice. I love that they use bone broth to get some extra protein. But I have found them to be pretty dry and not very flavorful. 

I tried the Spanish Yellow Bone Broth Rice. It was easy to make but I could do without the plastic. I also get that the push is that there's added protein, but I would be happy with a vegetable broth option.

Ready to eat rice is not the best thing in the world but this rice is not that average either. The flavor was just off, the texture was bad. The rice smelled like rotten food to me.

I had the opportunity to try A Dozen Cousins food product through Thingtesting. I selected the Spanish Yellow Rice and it was very good. I served it with black beans and a plant-based chicken patty. I love that this rice contains Collagen/cooked in Halal Bone Broth which releases other vitamins and nutrients (which is what their packaged product advertises) and it has 7g of protein per 1 cup serving. The flavor of this Spanish Yellow Rice is quite flavorful. I really like it and will be purchasing this rice again - as well, I look forward to trying A Dozen Cousins other food products. 

I came acros A Dozen Cousins in the grocery store recently and picked up their Cuban black beans, which were flavorful without being overly salty. I bought them to use in some tacos I was making. I found they heated up easily and had a nice texture. I would try them again. 

The rice has great flavor and pairs well with a variety of dishes. 

This was okay. It had kind of an artificial taste without any real flavor. Good in a pinch I guess, but with a rice cooker you can make much more flavorful rice without spending that much more time.

This was absolutely delicious and perfect for those days where you still want something nutritious but you don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen preparing a good meal.

It’s ok, but not the best ready rice I’ve tried. Ingredients are good. I tried Spanish yellow rice, but it’s more Indian than Spanish for me. Definitely buy it again if find with discount
