What Is White Jasmine Rice?
Organic white jasmine rice is a long grain type of fragrant rice native to Thailand. It gets its name because of the subtle flowery scent and color of the polished grains, which are reminiscent of jasmine flowers. It’s the most fragrant rice of its kind and is one of the most popular in the Western world. Food To Live brings this delicious grain to your table with our Organic Jasmine Rice. You can use it to create a great variety of delicious dishes, ranging from stir-fry to pudding.
Due to its pleasant flowery aroma and mildly-nutty flavor, white jasmine rice can benefit any dish when replacing other rice varieties. This particular type of grain is a traditional ingredient in Thai cuisine. It’s also a staple food in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

naturally
sweet flavor of organic white jasmine rice makes it a good choice for desserts. As it’s rather soft compared to other long grain rice varieties, you can make an excellent pudding with it.
Difference Between Basmati and White Jasmine Rice
Both basmati and jasmine rice are types of fragrant long grain rice. They are very popular in Thailand, India, China, and other Eastern countries. These grains can be used interchangeably, but white jasmine rice has a milder more flowery flavor and aroma.
Basmati is a firmer, longer, and less sticky grain. It requires soaking for at least 30 minutes before cooking, while white jasmine rice can be cooked after a short rinse. The best way to cooking organic jasmine rice is steaming, but you can also boil it on the stove using 1:1 or 1:1.5 proportions of grain and water.

Organic Jasmine Rice: Nutrition Benefits
Rice, by default, is a low-protein food with a low glycemic index. The amount of finer and essential vitamins and minerals in this grain depends on whether it’s white or brown. All rice is brown originally and becomes white when processed to remove the bran. This increases the shelf life but partially reduces the nutritional value of the product.
When speaking of white jasmine rice, nutrition benefits it offers are the main reason why this food is so good. ¼ cup of dry organic jasmine rice (makes about ¾ cup cooked) contains about 160 calories, 4.2 grams protein and an assortment of B vitamins and essential minerals.
Please note that although white jasmine rice isn’t considered one of the ‘sticky’ types, its starch content is a bit higher than in other long grained varieties of rice. This allows using it in recipes that require shaping cooked grains into various forms. However, this is also why there are more calories in white jasmine rice. The calorie count is lower in white rice than brown.
White Jasmine Rice: Health Benefits
Organic jasmine rice has many benefits aside from its delightful nutty flavor and flowery aroma. This product is very good for one’s wellbeing and can fit into any diet. This grain doesn’t contain any gluten. It’s also 100% vegan and is one of the most popular grains in meat-free cuisines.
In fact, rice is a staple food for billions of people, and white jasmine rice is especially popular in Thailand and China. This food is a great source of energy as it’s rich in carbs. It’s also safe for those who need to maintain a low-protein diet.
Please note that all white rice is processed to some extent. This grain becomes white after the bran is removed from it. This increases the shelf life of organic jasmine rice but doesn’t have much difference for the taste.
Making a bowl of white jasmine rice one of your daily servings of grains is a great way to fuel your body and enrich your diet with important nutrients.

Delicious Ideas on How to Use Organic Jasmine Rice
White jasmine rice is like any other rice, albeit with a bit different flavor and shape. This means that you can use it in all your favorite recipes for this grain. The unique aroma and flavor of jasmine will enhance the taste of dishes.
Try making some onigiri with jasmine rice, avocado, and cucumber. You’ll need to overcook the grain a bit, but it will work out well for this recipe as this type of rice gets sticky.
Be sure to try making some organic white jasmine rice curry or stir-fry. It tastes delightful with any combination of spices, sauces, and veggies. Try out some traditional Thai recipes as this type of rice is the most popular in this cuisine.
You can also enjoy tomatoes, peppers, or zucchini stuffed with white jasmine rice and herbs and baked for 30-40 minutes.
How to Cook White Jasmine Rice Perfectly
Learning how to cook long grain rice takes some practice. You also must consider the requirements of the dish and your personal preferences. The method of cooking you choose also matters. The basic recipe for cooking organic white jasmine rice goes like this:
•
Wash 1 cup of rice by rinsing and sifting it until the water turns clear. Be gentle so as not to damage the grains.
•
Cook a cup of organic jasmine rice in a cup and a half of water. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for about 20 minutes in a covered pot.
•
Remove cooked rice from the heat and leave the pot covered for 10 more minutes.
•
Fluff up the rice with a fork or chopsticks and serve.
If you use a rice cooker, you might need to use one cup of water per a cup of rice. If you prefer your grains a bit ‘al dante’, use the same proportions. However, if you want it to be softer and a bit more sticky, use a bit more water. You should test different ratios to work out the perfect recipe for your cooking equipment.
