Jasmine rice

Jasmine rice is a type of long-grain rice originally from Thailand, known for its naturally fragrant aroma reminiscent of jasmine flowers. When cooked, it becomes fluffy, slightly sticky, and tender, making it a popular choice for many Asian dishes. Its subtle flavor and appealing texture pair well with a variety of savory meals. The grains are typically white but can also be found in whole-grain or brown versions, which retain more of the rice's natural nutrients. Jasmine rice is valued both for its aroma and its versatility in cooking.
