What it is
Bowl & Basket Jasmine Rice is a long-grain white rice known for its delicate floral aroma and slightly chewy texture. This fragrant rice is a staple in many Asian cuisines. It cooks up tender and fluffy, making it a versatile base for a wide variety of dishes. The grains remain separate when cooked, which is desirable for many recipes.

To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine one part rice with 1.5 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 stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures evenly cooked, separate grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Jasmine rice differs from other long-grain rices like Basmati due to its distinct floral scent and a slightly stickier, chewier texture. While Basmati is known for its nutty flavor and very separate grains, jasmine rice offers a softer mouthfeel and a more pronounced aroma.

Home cooks looking for an aromatic and versatile rice for everyday meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store any leftover cooked rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For uncooked rice, keep it in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
