What it is
This is a package of Dynasty Jasmine Rice, a fragrant long-grain rice variety originating from Thailand. It is known for its distinct floral aroma and slightly chewy texture when cooked.

How people cook with it
Jasmine rice is a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions. Its delicate flavor complements a wide range of cuisines.
- Side dish for curries
- Base for stir-fries
- Accompaniment to grilled meats
- Ingredient in rice pudding
To prepare, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. For every part of rice, use about 1.5 parts water. 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. This method ensures the rice is tender and aromatic.
How it differs from similar foods
Jasmine rice differs from other rice varieties like basmati by its softer texture and more pronounced floral scent. While basmati is known for its nutty flavor and very distinct, separate grains, jasmine rice offers a slightly stickier, more tender bite with a signature perfume.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use jasmine rice to add an aromatic and flavorful element to their dishes.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused uncooked jasmine rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain its freshness and prevents it from absorbing odors from other pantry items. Properly stored, it can last for a considerable amount of time.
