American jasmine rice There are a number of good-quality American-grown Thai-style jasmine rices. They have a soft, slightly clingy texture when cooked. They can be served to accompany Thai meals or in place of any plain white rice. Our favorite is organically grown by Lowell Farms in Texas. It is less polished than the Thai rices. Consequently, it needs a little more water and a few more minutes’ cooking time; when cooked, it has a more distinctive grain flavor. See jasmine rice and Thai jasmine rice.
