Nigerian Rice -Your View!

Since the Nigerian border was closed months ago, most Nigerians are left with no choice than to revert to our local rice.......






 Have you eaten the Nigerian rice?Is it good?Would you continue even if the Border is re-opened?Is it cheaper to afford?

      Some supermarkets still sell foreign rice. I got a bag of foreign rice a few weeks ago for N28,500. Haven't eaten local rice in a while but I enjoy the rice used in eating ofada sauce, I think it's abakiliki rice. Very nice without the stones of course.

      I’ve always LOVED Local Rice...

      I don’t like Foreign rice at all...

      Local Rice(Abakaliki Rice(destined) always got me covered.. Lival rice is more tasty, more nutritious and has all it nutrients intact unlike Foreign Rice that has been stripped off its Nutritional value..

      Local Rice is BAE..

      NB: Always wash the rice, at least five(5) before cooking and use a little water to cook, you can always top up...

    No way... I dont like it..It lacks quality which is typical of ''Made in Nigeria goods'' If the borders re-opens na back to foreign rice...It only fits for rice cereal cos you add plenty water at once...Na Tuwo you go eat at the end of the day...If the quality is worked on, I will surely eat the rice...

    I prefer Nigerian rice that has no stones.
    1. It is organic
    2. It is not parboiled, meaning the nutrients are intact and natural
    3. It is most times cheaper.

    Nigerians do not value their thing. Everything abroad is worshiped and a lot of these girls
    find that as a bragging point or phantom status thing.
    In the USA to be precise, the rice that has those first two qualities listed above are labelled "organic" and are double the price of
    the processed ones that they added
    chemicals -vitamins/minerals.

    What a shame that Naija people loathe their products. 😕😕😕

      it is so gross!
      Now that there is paucity of abroad rice, how far? 😊😊
      it is just like when I see certain Nigerian laugh at me for going to
      buy the one they nick-named mortuary (the frozen fish)
      😮😮😮😮😮
      Ladies do not know what fish oil does to their fertility and the harm
      the cholesterol in red meat (the one they hail) does to their bodies especially their heart.
      But there in the States, Canada and Europe, they sell fish oil tablets, yes tablets for TTC ladies.

      Anonymous 15:28: get your facts right too. Nigerian rice is extremely starchy reasons why rice are par boiled . You say organic? You do know that they use harmful fertilizers in growing the rice right? And the source or type of fertilisers used in nigeria isnt checked by the government. Organic means grown without fertilisers. It takes a long time to grow that's why it is expensive!!!

I will never eat foreign rice again oo, even if they open boarder.

My grandma used to sell foreign rice in large quantities at Daleko market, and I grew up knowing qualities of rice. I can say this is way better than foreign ones. Maybe there are bad ones in the market, but I haven't come across any. Just complains from people. But we used to have bad foreign rice too. Those ones they mix with palm oil in the market.

    For commercial purposes,its a no no especially when using it to make Fried Rice.kai!

    The few times I served our local rice my customers noticed and complained.I still source for foreign rice even though its pricey.

    I think the Nigerian rice is in grades. There's the one with stone and the one without stones which is more expensive. Personally, if I can have regular access to the one without stone, I'll still prefer it to foreign. I have some in my kitchen presently but I can't buy it in large quantity though, dunno how durable it is. However, if I want to cook the one I know visitors will it, I'd rather use foreign rice to be on a safe side.

    The price is too high for the quality. The one I bought had sand, blackheads. I washed and washed and got tired. We still ended with some sand on our plates. Had to give it away. I've switched to basmati.

    I have been eating Abakiliki rice even before the border closure and I love it, stone free and sweet and I heard it has more nutrition than foreign rice

      Same here. Been eating local rice before border closure. I tasted it and loved it. Both for white rice and jollof rice. Fried rice? I 've not really tried it. I use mama's pride. Its high grade and very good. No stones at all.

    If you eat the one from Arondizuogu!! Choi no stones, really nice, with jamaican, fried or jollof rice, we stopped eating foreign rice long before the border closure, if we cook foreign rice just know it was a gift. We hated it at first till my mum forced everyone into eating it, when we finished it and started cooking the foreign rice, it tasted somehow, I thought it was just my head playing pranks till my brother complained and asked my mum when will our local rice be available.

    The trick to cooking it is less water, just like your basmati rice. No par boiling, pre wash with hot water instead. If yours has stones, fill it with cold water stir with a stick and scoop the rice from the top, reduce the water while scooping till you get to the bottom, you'll feel the sand and pebbles at the bottom, that's the tricky part, if you not sure about the last part just throw it away. And also it doesn't take time to cook, so dont boil it like you cooking beans, 15-20 min and your rice is ready.

    Who said Nigerian rice is not good. Please go to the market and get good ones. Non sticky, good for jellof rice. A colleague introduced me to it early this year and we have been enjoying it. It's just that I've forgotten the name. I poured it inside a big bucket with cover and used the bag as waste bin.

    It is a shame that an opportunity for self reliance is being dragged down by producers who care nothing about quality. Isn't there a standards council in Nigeria to ensure that there is a quality standard to all products produced in the country. Rice with stones should not be on the market in 2019. Are they hulking the rice in a quarry? This is a valuable opportunity for self reliance and economy building producers should not be slacking off and feel comfortable to put out substandard products.
