A Dozen Cousins reviews and discussion

Cuban Black beans are a staple!

Love the rices from a dozen cousins - I love that they're made with bone broth so they have some extra protein. So easy to add to meals, no ready time needed.

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.

An unremarkable product, given it is a bag of clean and seasoned beans, it could be so much better. For example by Lowe's means that they prepare and store the same way are on another level when it comes to flavor and consistency as well . I really tried with this one as it had other traits making it an ideal addition to my meal prep. Clean and portable product that is perfect for my hikes and daily flow, to keep me satiated and fed throughout my going ons. Easy to pop out with a compact spoon and high in protein so it does the trick. The only thing is I personally can't stand their flavors. If you like it, and are active, it'll be a good tool in your box.

I tried all of the varieties of A Dozen Cousins beans when the spotlight was on Black-owned businesses after George Floyd. They are all tasty and flavorful, perfectly seasoned. It is a lot more interesting than just simply opening a can of plain black beans. The packaging is also really cute! I would love to try the rice sometime too, and any other products that have been released since I last experienced the brand.

Need a quick side made? This is the way to go! There's so many meal options to choose from and all come in an easy to open pouch that you can just pop into the microwave and be ready to eat in minutes. Super useful for those nights you don't feel like cooking.

Nice product. Very quick and easy. tasty rice and not dry!

I loved the flavor and texture of this rice. Paired well with my protein.

I really love the idea of bone broth rice so points right there automatically. This rice was good, not bad and not great. I mean it's rice and that's about it. I love the convenience and that you're getting extra protein because of the bone broth but it was pretty plain and not reminiscent of Spanish rice.

Always delicious and convenient!

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

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.

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

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 tried 2 of the flavors. They were both a little bland HOWEVER, I love the very short ingredient list, avocado oil, bone broth, salt and a few spices. Definitely buy again as a staple on nights when I have to get a quick dinner ready. (60 second) Very good price as well. I found several flavors at Walmart.

I'm never really sure what to do with rice packaged like this since I don't use a microwave, I usually make fried rice with it. In this case, it tastes good, but the grains flew out of the pan when it hit the hot oil. Most people probably don't have to deal with that though, do what you will with this information.

While the flavor is fine, I'm disappointed that this rice is refined and not whole grain. Further, neither the rice nor the bone both is organic or regeneratively produced. And the packaging isn't even recyclable. So, I am not interested in trying this again or recommending it to my patients/clients.

I recently discovered this brand and Whole Foods and it became a quick favorite. I love that they use clean ingredients and that they are quick and easy to prepare. Their rice packets are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner!

I ate my A Dozen Cousins bone broth rice on a trip where I didn't have kitchen access. It was very good and offered nutrition you wouldn't normally get from microwave food. However, without getting it for free, it would be a bit pricy. You could also tell that it was microwave food, but as long as you eat it with another main meal or side, that isn't much of a problem.

Protein in rice is a win! My kids like rice but I want them to have protein so with this we're all satisfied.
