What it is
This is a long-grain white rice variety known for its fragrant aroma and slightly chewy texture. It is a staple in many Asian cuisines. The grains are slender and become fluffy when cooked. This rice is milled to remove the bran and germ, resulting in a lighter color and longer shelf life compared to brown rice. It is a versatile grain that pairs well with a wide range of dishes.

To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. For every cup of rice, use approximately 1.5 to 2 cups of water, depending on your desired consistency. Bring the water and rice to a boil in a saucepan, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it steam, covered, for an additional 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to medium-grain rice, jasmin rice grains are longer and separate more easily after cooking. Its distinct floral aroma is also a key differentiator from other white rice varieties like basmati or standard long-grain rice.
