Long Grain Jasmine Rice 100

Long grain jasmine rice is a type of aromatic rice, a long-grain indica rice variety that is a staple food for many. It is named for its floral aroma, reminiscent of jasmine flowers. It is grown primarily in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and Vietnam.

Jasmine rice is primarily used as a cooked side dish or as a base for other dishes, similar to other rice varieties. Its distinct aroma and slightly sticky texture make it a popular choice for Asian cuisine, including curries, stir-fries, and rice puddings.

Jasmine rice is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein, fiber, and micronutrients. The FDA considers rice to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rice and its components. Like other refined grains, excessive consumption of white jasmine rice may contribute to higher blood sugar levels due to its carbohydrate content.
