Thai Jasmine Rice 100

Thai Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of rice, known for its distinct floral aroma and soft, slightly sticky texture when cooked. It is primarily grown in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. The rice is harvested, milled to remove the outer husk, and then polished to produce the white rice commonly found in stores.

Manufacturers use Thai Jasmine rice as a staple grain in a wide variety of dishes. Its fragrant aroma and texture make it a popular choice for both main courses and side dishes, especially in Asian cuisine. It is also used in desserts and rice puddings.

Thai Jasmine rice is a source of carbohydrates and provides some fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers rice to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Like other refined grains, it is lower in fiber and nutrients compared to whole grains. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated rice as a food staple, generally finding it safe for consumption within a balanced diet.
