- How should I store a 25-pound bag?
- Transfer it to an airtight container or food-safe bucket and keep it cool and dry. Rice kept sealed and dry holds for months; a pantry scoop keeps it easy to use.
- How does it compare with basmati rice?
- Jasmine is softer and slightly sticky with a floral aroma; basmati is firmer and drier. Choose jasmine for Thai and Vietnamese dishes, basmati for Indian and Middle Eastern cooking.

- Rinse the rice, then use about 1¼ to 1½ cups water per cup of rice. Simmer covered for 15 to 18 minutes and rest before fluffing.
- Is it good for fried rice?
- Day-old jasmine rice works well for fried rice because it dries out in the fridge. Freshly cooked rice is too moist and clumps in the wok.
