Thai Jasmine rice stands out due to its distinctive fragrance and tender texture, setting it apart from other varieties. The aroma comes from a natural compound called 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP), which evokes pandan leaves, popcorn, or buttery flowers, and Thai Hom Mali rice produces higher levels thanks to its genetics and Thailand’s specific growing conditions like soil and climate.
Aroma Details
This 2AP compound develops during cooking and is more concentrated in Thai strains grown in regions like the Northeast, harvested once yearly from October to November, ensuring peak fragrance without artificial additives. Unlike jasmine-named rices from elsewhere, authentic Thai versions retain this fresh, sweet pandan scent even after storage.
Texture Qualities
Cooked grains are long, slender, moist, and slightly sticky from balanced amylopectin, yet fluffy and not clumpy like glutinous rice—about three times stickier than American long-grain but smooth without excess starch. Small, roundish uncooked grains expand evenly, yielding a soft, non-rough mouthfeel ideal for Thai dishes
Our Jasmine Rice is a premium long-grain variety grown in Thailand, renowned for its delicate pandan-like aroma and soft, slightly sticky texture when cooked. This fragrance, often called Hom Mali (Khao Hom Mali), is a hallmark of Thai cuisine and sets Jasmine Rice apart from ordinary rice.
