- How does jasmine rice differ from basmati?
- Jasmine is softer, slightly sticky and floral, while basmati is firmer and nuttier. Jasmine suits Thai curries and stir-fries; basmati suits Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.
- Do I need to rinse it before cooking?
- Rinsing removes surface starch and helps the grains stay separate. It is not required, but it reduces clumping, especially in a rice cooker.
- Is it gluten-free?
- Yes. The package is labeled gluten-free and kosher, so it fits gluten-free diets.
- How should I store the bag?
- Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from light. Airtight containers slow aroma loss and keep out pantry pests.
- Does it work in a rice cooker?
- Yes. Use the jasmine or white rice setting and slightly less water than for standard long-grain rice, since jasmine absorbs less.
