Simple Truth Organic Jasmine Rice
What it is
This is a package of organic jasmine rice. Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety known for its fragrant aroma and slightly chewy texture when cooked. It is a staple grain in many Asian cuisines. This particular product is certified organic, meaning it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
Jasmine rice is a versatile grain that can be served as a side dish or used as a base for various meals.
- Side dish for curries
- Base for stir-fries
- Ingredient in rice pudding
- Accompaniment to grilled meats
To cook, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine one part rice with one and a half parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it steam, covered, for an additional 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
Jasmine rice is distinct from other long-grain rices like basmati due to its pronounced floral aroma and a slightly stickier, more tender texture. It cooks up softer than standard long-grain white rice.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
