Hello again ! We just today received a shipment from Thailand of 2019 New Crop jasmine rice, always an exciting time because of the unique character of freshly-harvested fragrant rice. 


2019 NEW CROP JASMINE RICE

Brand new fresh (2019) crop rice just arrived on January 16, the very first arrival. Rice this fresh is slightly wet, with bright, strong jasmine aroma. Within 8 weeks or so, the rice will harden up and lack the really young character, but also be more firm after cooking. If you like jasmine rice, try this unique fresh crop.
