Dubbed ‘the three minute rice wonder’ of the culinary world the Birds Eye Rice Fusions is about as good as three-minute rice can get.

So, if the mother-in-law is popping over or you’ve got a hot date, Birds Eye are to the rescue. With stiff competition from Uncle Ben’s Express Rice which is ready in two minutes, Birds Eye have aimed to create a flavourful accompaniment to any meal, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Birds Eye Rice Fusions are available in four options: Mediterranean Vegetable, Egg Fried Rice with Peas, Pilau with Peas & Spinach and Country Mushroom.

Matthew Blackmore, Brand Manager at Birds Eye, comments:

‘We’re pleased to now be able to add Birds Eye Rice Fusions to our growing portfolio of frozen food products, bringing amazingly tasty rice to the table in a quick, easy and simple format.”

The rice comes in a ‘Pyramid Steamer’ bag, which allows for the rice to be microwavable straight from frozen. With fresh vegetables and ingredients infused with their rice, Birds Eye Rice Fusions are exceptionally convenient. They’ve saved me several times when I’ve been rushing for a quick bite to eat and they taste just as delicious on their own as when they are served as part of a home cooked masterpiece. Here is a great Birds Eye recipe to follow:
