Goya Thai Brown Jasmine Rice
What it is
Goya Thai Brown Jasmine Rice is a whole grain rice variety cultivated in Thailand. It retains its natural bran and germ layers, which contribute to its distinct nutty flavor and chewy texture. This type of rice is known for its aromatic qualities, often releasing a subtle floral scent when cooked. It offers a wholesome alternative to polished white rice, providing a more robust eating experience.

This fragrant rice is a versatile staple that can accompany a wide range of dishes.

To prepare Goya Thai Brown Jasmine Rice, rinse the grains under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This cooking method ensures the rice is fully hydrated and has a pleasant texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike white jasmine rice, brown jasmine rice retains its bran and germ. This means it has a slightly firmer texture and a nuttier flavor profile. The cooking time is also generally longer for brown rice compared to its white counterpart due to the presence of these outer layers.
