About Dry jasmine rice

Dry jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of fragrant rice primarily cultivated in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia. Known for its delicate floral aroma and slightly nutty flavor, jasmine rice is a staple in many Asian cuisines, including Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian. It is naturally gluten-free and primarily composed of complex carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy source. A 1-cup serving of cooked jasmine rice provides about 205 calories, 45g of carbohydrates, 4g of protein, and minimal fat. It contains small amounts of essential nutrients like B-vitamins (thiamine and niacin), magnesium, phosphorus, and iron. While white jasmine rice has had its bran and germ layer removed, brown jasmine rice retains more fiber and micronutrients, making it nutritionally denser.

• Contains B-vitamins (thiamine and niacin), which are essential for energy metabolism and maintaining a healthy nervous system.
• Low in fat and sodium, making it beneficial for heart health when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
