What it is
This is a bag of premium Jasmine rice, specifically Thai Hom Mali variety. Jasmine rice is known for its distinct aroma, often described as floral or pandan-like.

It is a staple grain enjoyed in many cuisines around the world.
How people cook with it
Jasmine rice is a versatile grain that serves as a foundation for countless dishes. Its fragrant aroma and tender texture make it a popular choice for everyday meals and special occasions alike.
- Steamed as a side dish
- Base for curries
- In stir-fries
- For rice pudding
To cook, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. For every cup of rice, use approximately 1.5 cups of water. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all 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
Compared to other long-grain rice varieties like Basmati, Jasmine rice has a softer, more tender texture and a distinct fragrant aroma. While Basmati is known for its nutty flavor and separate, fluffy grains, Jasmine rice tends to be slightly stickier when cooked, making it ideal for dishes where the rice needs to hold together.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs who appreciate fragrant, tender rice for a variety of Asian and international dishes.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining rice in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent moisture and pests from affecting the quality of the rice.
