Nutrition Facts

Approximate values per 1/4 cup (45 g) dry rice, about 3/4 cup cooked. Actual values may vary slightly by brand and crop.

How to Use

Rinse Thai Jasmine Doral rice under cool running water 1–2 times to remove excess surface starch while preserving fragrance. For stovetop cooking, combine 1 cup of rice with 1½–1¾ cups of water in a pot, add a pinch of salt if desired, and bring to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5–10 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.

• Use slightly less water than for regular long-grain rice to keep jasmine rice soft but not mushy.
• Serve as a side with curries, stews, grilled meats, or sautéed vegetables.
• For fried rice, cook ahead, cool, and refrigerate the rice before stir-frying.

Packaged in a 2 lb bag suitable for pantry storage.

Warnings & Precautions

• Product is a raw grain and must be cooked thoroughly before consumption.
