About this product
Ben's Original Bistro Express Converted Brand Rice is a 250 g microwavable pouch of ready-to-heat long grain parboiled white rice, sold in Canada with an English and French label that carries a "Made in Canada" badge.[2] Canadian grocers list its ingredients as water, long grain parboiled rice and canola oil.[3][4] The pouch gives 390 Calories per 250 g, with 76 g of carbohydrate and 2 mg of sodium.[2] The maker describes it as heating in 90 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.[5] The brand's Canadian company is Mars Canada.[6]
It is the Ben's Original successor of the Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Original Converted Brand Rice pouch, after Mars renamed the Uncle Ben's brand in 2020.[7] Super C listed it at 2.97 CAD in August 2025.[3]
