People Magazine Picks Goya Paella as ‘Best Rice Kit’

Goya’s new Paella kit, a classic dish from Spain, was voted as the “Best Rice Kit” in People magazine’s People Food Awards 2019. 

People editors tested more than 1,200 grocery products from a variety of categories to highlight their top consumer brands. Taste-testers raved about the easy-to-follow directions (“only three steps!”) and flavorful results of Goya Paella, with one tester saying, “It brought me back to my days in Barcelona.”

The Goya Paella kit, available in 8-ounce or 19-ounce boxes nationwide, contains everything needed to make a delicious seafood Paella in minutes that the whole family can enjoy.
