What it is
This is a bag of long-grain white rice. It is known for its distinct floral aroma and slightly sweet flavor. The grains are typically slender and become fluffy when cooked.

How people cook with it
Jasmine rice is a versatile grain that can be served as a side dish or incorporated into various meals.
- Steamed as a side for curries
- Base for stir-fries
- In rice bowls
- Added to soups
To cook, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine one part rice with 1.5 to 2 parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 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. The exact water ratio can be adjusted based on desired texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other long-grain rices like Basmati, jasmine rice has a softer texture and a more pronounced floral aroma. Its grains tend to stick together slightly more than Basmati when cooked, creating a pleasing chewiness.

Home cooks looking for an aromatic and flavorful rice option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
