A Dozen Cousins earns mixed-to-positive reviews, delivering convenient, clean-ingredient rice, beans, and marinades that many find flavorful—especially Cuban Black Beans and Garlic Lime marinade—yet inconsistent seasoning and occasional texture issues temper the praise. Reviews commend quick prep, added protein from bone broth, and versatile pairings, but note bland or odd aftertastes, clumping or hard rice, occasional off-putting smells, and comparisons to ordinary instant options.

  • These are delicious and oh so simple to use. Unlike other prepackaged sides which can taste bland or have and odd texture. I love keeping them around and making quick grain or burrito bowls.

  • Easy, healthy and tasty!

  • I bought rice chicken in bone broth, but I tasted no chicken flavor. Easily pairs with other low prep items.

  • Very convenient and flavorful! I was surprised that a bagged rice was this good! Texture was a little hard, but not bad. The bone broth gave it a very savory and substantial taste.

  • For ease this was AMAZING. The texture did seem a little off, but since this was the base of a dish with lots of veggies and flavors it was fine.

  • 10/10 ingredients and 10/10 taste! OBSESSED with their beans! Such a yummy flavor.

  • I like eating rice on it's own because I love rice. The flavor was a little lacking for me I was expecting a bit more umami since it was cooked in bone broth. This really needed help with other sides.

  • I really liked the convenience of this product and that it contained bone broth for added protein. However, my family and I did not enjoy the flavor of this rice when eaten plain. We are big plain white rice eaters. It was not bad mixed in with other things or part of a taco bowl.

  • It was okay. It was easy to heat and I love the concept of bone broth rice. I don’t think it was that flavorful on its own though and when paired with something mixed with the rice it just tasted like regular rice

  • I liked that it had clean ingredients and the amount of protein. The texture was hard and the flavor was terrible. My husband and toddlers tried it and they all didn’t like it.

  • This a dozen cousins rice turned out pretty delicious to my surprised. It was quick, simple and convenient to prepare. The texture was great and the flavor was pretty tasty. This rice pack with bone broth, avocado oil, contain collagen, gluten free and protein to my liking. Overall, it's handy to have it around the house.

  • It was convenient. The packaging was nice and eco friendly. I guess I am not a fan of it because I don’t eat much bean.

  • It was quick and easy to make as a side which was a plus and I like that it contained more protein than the average rice since it was made with bone broth. However, it was definitely lacking in flavor.
