I am lookig for the TILDA brand or brand not packaged in burlap bags. Family loves rice so the larger the bag the better. Thanks in advance.

They have 3 kinds: Indian , organic California grown and organic north Indian (my favorite).

Costco sells the kind in the burlap bags, btw. Mon Apr 10 19:49:55 -0700 2006 222200 0 Amy H. 2 222289 Viks has Tilda in coated burlap bags but that is also Berkeley.

There's also that Sun something place on California Ave in Palo Alto (beware: even more expensive than Whole Foods, although the bulk stuff isn't too bad), and the Milk Pail in Mountain View has a lot of bulk stuff too, although I don't know if they have basmati rice. Is there something wrong with the stuff that comes in burlap bags that we should know about?
