Cilantro lime vs Spanish yellow rice — which when?

Cilantro lime is the lighter, brighter rice — best with fish, lighter meats, and Mexican-Cuban fusion dishes. Spanish yellow rice (with bijol or saffron) is richer and more savory — best with chicken, pork, and traditional Cuban arroz con pollo.

Single bag vs Pack of 2 — which should I buy?

Single bag is right for first-time tryers or households that prefer one at a time. The Pack of 2 saves money and is the right buy if you eat Cuban regularly — cilantro lime rice goes fast as a weekly side.
