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.

I tried the Spanish yellow bone broth rice - love that it's good for me, don't love the blandness, but that's not an issue for the base of a meal like rice since I just went and added more ingredients to it to taste. Ended up being enough rice for me for two meals which was great :)

I enjoyed a dozen cousins. I tried the Spanish rice. I heated it up in a sauce pan, the portion was large. Very filling for 2 people. I’m definitely going to try the other varieties.

I tried the "A Dozen Cousins" rice cooked in bone broth. It tasted great and has lots of flavoring with the perfect seasoning. It is so fast and easy to prepare this meal. It is healthy since it is cooked with avocado oil.

I got the original rice. It was pretty good and the texture of the rice wasn’t mushy. The bone broth was pretty good but it lacked it flavor, the rice was kind of bland. I think the other flavors might be better than original.

I thought it was good, the package was kind of hard when I got it so that threw me off. I like how it’s in chicken broth

I prefer to skip plastic packaging, but I appreciate the different array of flavor profiles. The cowboy beans are affordable and delicious AND vegan!

Liked the flavor and the ease of cooking it. This is a versatile product that can be added to a variety of dishes. I enjoy that this rice was cooked in a bone broth, which is a healthy thing for the body. Very easy to open the pouch.

This rice was really exciting knowing it was made with bone broth but it wasn’t any different from any other microwaved heat up rice I’ve tried. It also came out in chucks even when I mixed it up best I could from the outside of the bag.

I purchased this rice and made it the same evening with a piece of broiled salmon on top. It turned out fantastic, the rice had so much flavor! I would definitely buy again.

Not bad, I had gotten the rice and the bone broth flavor was strong (not in a bad way). The rice did clump together a lot, so you'll have to break it apart in the bag before you heat it. About a dollar more than I would have liked to pay for it

I love the packaging because it is resealable and easy to transport. I got the rice cooked in bone broth and liked it well enough. It costs a little more than a small amount of rice

I got the Spanish rice and love the convenience and clean ingredients. Most packaged foods like this contain seed oils so I’m super pleased with this purchase.

The same day I bought it, I gave this thing a try. It was very yummy! Such a wonderful go to item to have on days when you're too lazy or are limited on time to cook. Next time I visit Sprouts, I will be trying the Spanish yellow rice flavor from this brand. I love the packing because it is portable and takes up no shelf space. The instructions were easy to follow.
