    My rating is a 1  or 2. I usually enjoy all Lundberg products (mostly just the rice and rice cakes, I haven't bought many of the "meals", but there is SUGAR (cane juice) in the Risotto! I have never seen a recipe for Risotto with sugar (or cane juice or honey) and worse yet: you can taste that its sweetened. I bought two boxes, but I may just throw the second one away. Please change the ingredients!
    Thanks.

    The ingredients didn't list SAGE, but the flavor was overwhelming. It tasted similar to poultry seasoning used at the holidays.

    We do not like the flavor of SAGE and were disappointed.

    Kate, sorry you don't like the flavor of this! There is no sage in it, but it does contain rosemary and thyme which are both components of poultry seasoning. If you're looking for a different flavor of risotto, our Garlic Primavera and Creamy Parmesan would be excellent alternatives! Hope this helps!

    I was excited to see this gluten-free product because I love risotto.  Unfortunately the saltiness was overwhelming and I couldn't eat it.
