Good despite misleading and high salt content

First let's get the thing that makes me angriest out of the way. The old classic, sodium. Now while I get that processed food has a tendency to be higher in salt, I feel there's never a need (other than manipulating taste buds and causing cravings) for the salt levels to be this high. What really bugs me though? The nutrition is for 1/4 pack even though you'll use the pack in one sitting. So you might be thinking, well 17% of your daily salt is high, but it's not something you'll do all the time, it's actually 4 times that. That means it's 68% of your daily sodium. Salt is the next highest ingredient after rice.

I still give the mushroom rice 4 stars because my family enjoyed the taste, but the lack of transparency makes me mad and I think people should know what they're getting into. So if you have a low salt diet, definitely avoid this, don't be fooled by the tactic to make it seem 'healthier'.

In terms of easiness, this is really simple to make, you literally just heat it up on the stove and then add some margarine at the end. It's very simple and fast. It's also tasty, giving the rice a nice hit of mushroom flavour that everyone will enjoy. If you don't like salty food, this will definitely taste too salty for you, but if you enjoy a salty taste, you'll like this.

It is good, but I love the convenience and if they'd get serious about reducing the salt in their dishes, I'd buy them a lot more often. As it is, this is a rare treat and not a common occurrence in our household.
