      I think the only product on the high side is your basmati rice, but the price also depends on the brand, so it's hard to compare.

      hmmmm......

      In Cold Storage 12 oz of Basmati Rice is going for $5.60, it will cost $16.47 per kg.

      the $13.95 Basmati rice is from India, Indus valley. Quality indeed. Indian basmati rice is the best there is.
