Thai Jasmine Rice, 10 lb bag
Thai jasmine rice is recognized around the world as having the finest quality--it's Thailand's principle export product. Jasmine rice was developed years ago in Thailand. The agricultural name is "Khao Dawk Mali 105", rice with a distinctive jasmine scent, also known locally as Khao Hom Mali. Khao means rice, Dawk means flower, Mali means jasmine. We think you will agree that there is no substitute for original Thai jasmine rice, and we recommend serving all Thai dishes with Thai rice. Very aromatic and fresh, all of our jasmine rice is "New Crop" harvest. We are pleased to ship it to you for a competitive price. Product of Thailand. We also offer brown jasmine rice and red cargo rice. Due to extreme global shortage of rice (see Reuters for well-documented reports of unseasonal freezing in China February 2008 and problems of supply throughout the world), we are now unable to offer more than 3 bags of rice per order. We are very sorry and expect the situation to change by November 2008.

| Rice is grown throughout Thailand in large flat fields which become brilliant green as the rice paddy matures before harvest. Some regions provide for harvest of jasmine rice twice yearly, other areas can support a harvest just once per year. The pictures below show a small organic rice paddy a short time before harvest. White jasmine rice is produced by first harvesting the paddy, and separating the rice grain from the outer shell. Traditionally, removing the shell was done with hand tools such as a krok som mue, striking the rice with a long wood mallet as it sits in a large wooden bowl, then sifting out the bran to get a nice polished white grain. Nowadays rice is processed in a modern milling machine, which cleans the rice first, removes the shell, polishes the rice, sorts it and puts in a bag using a sequential operation. There are no additives, no chemicals, whiteners or anything else added to the rice. In recent years, more people are consuming brown jasmine rice, which is identical to white jasmine rice except that it has not gone through the final polishing stage which removes the thin, brown outer membrane. We offer brown jasmine rice, which has higher vitamin & fiber content, and requires a bit more water and time to cook. Brown jasmine rice is also a bit more crunchy, but has a similar taste overall. We also offer red cargo rice, Thai sticky rice, and black sticky rice. New: watch our Bangkok street vendor video featuring fried rice. |
