Jasmine rice is a white rice. The rice grain is milled, polished and dehulled, giving the rice a beautiful white colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <strong>long-grain rice<\/strong> is famous for its delicate aroma and flavour \u2013 an unrivalled rice variety according to connoisseurs. The rice grains are flavoured with the leaves from the pandan palm. This variety is named after the delicate Jasmine blossoms that adorn the rice fields during the growing period. Hence, the rice grains also smell like Jasmine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jasmine rice is a <strong>delicate rice variety<\/strong>, botanically identified as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Oryza_sativa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Oryza sativa<\/em><\/a>, and is an essential ingredient in countless dishes ranging from exotic Asian delicacies to sophisticated international culinary creations. The rice originated in Southeast Asia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/3.png\" alt=\"Jasmijnrijst\" class=\"wp-image-31853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/3.png 940w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-640x537.png 640w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-320x268.png 320w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Different varieties of Jasmine rice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are numerous types of rice grown and consumed worldwide. Rice is typically classified according to different characteristics, such as grain size, texture, flavour and cooking properties. These, for example, include Jasmine rice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/product_category\/dry-products\/rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">white rice<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/product_category\/dry-products\/rice\/sticky-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sticky rice<\/a> and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/producten\/vietnamese-black-rice-20508\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">black rice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/producten\/vietnamese-red-rice-20509\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">red rice<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>different kinds of Jasmine rice<\/strong> also vary widely. As a buyer, it is important to realise that even an average product like Jasmine rice has big quality differences. Mooijer-Volendam only selects and sells high-quality Jasmine rice. Below, we explain our selection process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheap Jasmine rice can contain grains that are less uniform in size and quality. More expensive and therefore <strong>high-quality Jasmine rice<\/strong> is selected more carefully and generally contains larger, more uniform grains. In addition, more expensive Jasmine rice usually has a stronger and more pronounced Jasmine aroma and flavour compared to cheaper varieties. The aroma and flavour of more expensive rice varieties are more refined and subtle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jasmine rice is often associated with specific regions in Southeast Asia. It has different names, such as <strong>Thai Hom Mali rice<\/strong> from Thailand, <strong>ST 25<\/strong> <strong>rice<\/strong> from Vietnam and <strong>Jasmine rice<\/strong> from Cambodia. Rice from certain regions is pricy due to specific climatic conditions and soil quality that contribute to its unique flavour and quality. Certain more expensive Jasmine rice come with certifications indicating that the rice has been produced according to specific quality standards, such as organic or sustainable production methods. This, for example, applies to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/producten\/fragrant-jasmine-rice-21601\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our premium Jasmine rice from Cambodia<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thai Jasmine rice \u2013 Hom Mali<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to its various origins, Jasmine rice has several different names. The <strong>best quality rice from Thailand<\/strong> is called <strong>Hom Mali rice<\/strong>, a jewel in the world of rice varieties. With its distinctive elongated grains and delectable Jasmine aroma, this type of rice is synonymous with sophistication and quality. But what makes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/producten\/thai-jasmin-rice-23901\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thai Jasmine rice<\/a> so special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rice originates in the <strong>fertile rice fields of Thailand<\/strong>, where the unique climate and soil conditions provide ideal conditions for rice cultivation. Its premium quality results from carefully selected rice fields and a meticulous production process. Each grain of rice is hand-picked to ensure that only the best grains are collected. Mooijer-Volendam offers you only the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/producten\/thai-jasmin-rice-broken-23910\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thai Jasmine rice of the highest quality<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2.png\" alt=\"Thaise Jasmijnrijst\" class=\"wp-image-31849\" style=\"width:840px;height:704px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2.png 940w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-640x537.png 640w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-320x268.png 320w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vietnamese Jasmine rice \u2013 ST25<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On our journey through Vietnam\u2019s rice fields, we discovered another treasure: <strong>ST25 Jasmine rice<\/strong>. This rice is considered one of the best and most flavoursome in the world and has even received international recognition for its excellent quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ST25 rice also has an elongated and shiny grain. In addition, long-grain rice has a natural sweetness and nutty flavour that sets it apart from other varieties. This rice is often used in traditional Vietnamese dishes and is popular for its texture and distinct flavour profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jasmine rice from Cambodia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cambodia is also known as the <strong>rice paradise<\/strong>. With its rice fields stretching far and wide, Cambodia is one of the major rice suppliers. Like its Thai counterpart, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/en\/producten\/fragrant-jasmine-rice-21601\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cambodia\u2019s Fragrant Jasmine rice<\/a> boasts an aroma and taste far superior to those of average rice varieties. However, this carefully cultivated crop has its own unique characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cambodia\u2019s Mekong Delta and coastal plains provide ample fertile soil for cultivating Fragrant Jasmine rice. The rice fields are carefully maintained, combining traditional methods with modern technology to ensure the highest quality. The result is <strong>rice with a silky texture and subtle fragrance<\/strong>. The flavour is slightly nutty with a hint of sweetness. This makes it an excellent choice for dishes where the rice is meant to be a subtle complement, such as with various fish dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jasmijnrijst-uit-Cambodja.png\" alt=\"Jasmijnrijst uit Cambodja\" class=\"wp-image-31857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jasmijnrijst-uit-Cambodja.png 940w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jasmijnrijst-uit-Cambodja-640x537.png 640w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jasmijnrijst-uit-Cambodja-320x268.png 320w, https:\/\/www.mooijer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jasmijnrijst-uit-Cambodja-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The culinary diversity of Jasmine rice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jasmine rice has proven to be a versatile base for numerous dishes that have captured the hearts of chefs and connoisseurs around the world.
