Thai jasmine rice

Thai jasmine rice is a fragrant, long-grain variety grown mainly in Thailand. Known for its natural floral aroma, it becomes pleasantly sticky when cooked, making it ideal for various Asian dishes. The rice has a delicate, slightly nutty flavor and firm texture, which helps it hold its shape. Its innate aroma results from the presence of a natural compound called 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline. This rice is often preferred for its aromatic qualities and fluffy texture, making it a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions.
