Product Information

If you rinse, you must reduce the water by 2 tablespoons to factor in the extra water than remains in the rice (ie 1 1/4 cups water minus 2 tablespoons) Place the rice into a heavy-based saucepan and add the boiling water. Bring to the boil and then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to a low heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. No rinsing – if you use 1 1/4 cups of water for every 1 cup of jasmine rice, your rice will be fluffy even without rinsing Jasmine rice ( Thai: ข้าวหอมมะลิ; RTGS: Khao hom mali; Thai pronunciation: [kʰâːw hɔ̌ːm malíʔ]) is a long-grain variety of fragrant rice (also known as aromatic rice). Its fragrance, reminiscent of pandan ( Pandanus amaryllifolius) and popcorn, [2] results from the rice plant's natural production of aroma compounds, of which 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is the most salient. [3] A rapid loss of aromatic intensity leads many Southeast Asians and connoisseurs to prefer each year's freshly harvested "new crop" of jasmine rice. [4] Jasmine rice is a variety of Oryza sativa.

Due to its fiber content, brown jasmine rice tends to be lower in calories and carbs than white rice. It also offers calcium, iron, and potassium.However, due to a loss of nutrients during processing, iron, thiamine (vitamin B1), niacin (vitamin B3), and folate are often added to white rice ( 7, 8, 9).

Jasmine rice has a glycemic index of 68–80. [18] Foods with a glycemic index of 55 or lower are preferred in the diet of diabetics due to their slower absorption which prevents large spikes in blood sugar after consumption. Not all rice has a high glycemic index. Basmati rice, for example, has a relatively low glycemic index of 59. However, it is uncommon for rice to be eaten alone. It is usually eaten with other foods that can reduce its glycemic index by 20–40 percent. [19] Culinary uses [ edit ] Jasmine rice, though grown in Laos and southern Vietnam, is not the predominant rice variety. Glutinous rice is grown in Laos, and regular Oryza sativa predominates in Vietnam. [ citation needed]

Though traditionally associated with South East Asian foods, it will goes perfectly with any Asian foods, and even Indian foodif you don’t have basmati rice. Broadly speaking, ‘white rice’ refers to any processed rice that has been processed to remove the bran and the germ. If jasmine rice is processed in this way, it too is a form of white rice.

To harvest jasmine rice, the long stalks are cut and threshed. The rice can then be left in a hulled form called paddy rice, de-hulled to produce brown rice, or milled to remove the germ and some or all of the bran, producing white rice.

Let’s face it. Rinsing rice is a pain. For an extra 2% fluffiness, it’s just not worth it (in my humble opinion). Another great weeknight meal in under 15 minutes from Gimme Delicious, this easy, one-pan recipe is perfectly seasoned with garlic and spices for a dish that’s full of flavour. Serve with a side salad.

Fluff! Use a rubber spatula or rice paddle – this stops the grains breaking (Jasmine rice is softer than most white rices). Rinsing vs no rinsing– rinsing yields a barely noticeable marginal improvement in fluffiness. It would not be noticeable to most people; Brown jasmine rice retains the light tan outer layer on the rice grain. [ citation needed] It has greater health benefits than white jasmine rice because it still has the bran.

The origin of jasmine rice can be traced to Ban Laem Pradu in Phanat Nikhom District, Chonburi Province where the original Khao Dawk [A]Mali rice was discovered. The rice sample, known as "Sample 105," was selected for its slender, jasmine-white long grain and natural fragrance similar to pandanus leaf and was brought to Bang Khla District, Chachoengsao Province in mid-1940s to early 1950s. Eventually, the rice was officially named Khao Dawk Mali 105 ( Thai: ข้าวดอกมะลิ 105, lit. 'Jasmine flower rice 105'), which is often shortened to "Khao Hom Mali" ( Thai: ข้าวหอมมะลิ, lit. 'Jasmine rice') or simply "Hom Mali" ( Thai: หอมมะลิ, lit. 'Fragrant jasmine'), and is now grown primarily in the Northeast region of Thailand, specifically in Thung Kula Rong Hai. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Types [ edit ] Yes, 1/4 cup really makes a difference! I made a lot of overly soft jasmine rice in my life that I was never really happy with until I finally figured this out. That may be because unrefined, whole-grain rice like brown jasmine rice contains fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugar and minimize its accumulation in your bloodstream ( 21).
