Floral, lightly nutty, soft, and gently sweet.
Lens analyzedJasmine rice is a fragrant long-grain rice known for soft, slightly clingy cooked grains and a floral aroma.
Where it comes from
Jasmine rice is strongly associated with Thailand and mainland Southeast Asian cooking, where aromatic rice varieties are prized with curries, stir-fries, and grilled foods.
Varieties — White jasmine, brown jasmine, and new-crop jasmine differ in aroma, texture, and water needs.
It is a default table rice in many Thai and Southeast Asian meals, where aroma is part of the experience.
Buying it
Look for bags labeled jasmine rice or Thai hom mali rice. Choose intact grains with no musty smell and store away from moisture.
Storing it
Keep dry rice sealed in a cool pantry. Cooked rice should be cooled quickly, refrigerated, and used within a few days.
Keeps about 1 year in the pantry.
