What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listed cooking guidance is inconsistent, with a specific stovetop method alongside a separate 25–30-minute pot or microwave instruction. The listing details are inconsistent: one direction says to simmer for 10 minutes and rest covered for 15–20 minutes, while another says to heat in a pot or microwave for 25–30 minutes. The title says the pack may vary, and the listing's claims about taste, texture and dietary properties are not independently confirmed. Follow the pack instructions for the purchased variant.
