✦ Aromatic floral fragrance
✦ Soft slightly sticky texture
✦ Selenium contributor
✦ Higher GI than basmati
Jasmine rice is a fragrant long-grain Thai rice prized for its floral aroma and soft, slightly sticky cooked texture. It is a refined white rice with a higher glycaemic index than basmati (due to lower amylose content) but provides moderate selenium and B vitamins. It is the classic accompaniment to Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine.

Preparation note
Rinse before cooking; use a 1:1.25 ratio of rice to water in a tight-lidded pot for 15-18 minutes. Jasmine rice absorbs sauces well — ideal served with curry and stir-fries.
