Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Jasmine and Basmati rice?
Jasmine rice is a "long-grain" rice from Southeast Asia that is soft and slightly sticky when cooked. Basmati is from South Asia and cooks up into long, distinct, and dry grains that do not stick together.
Should I wash Rooster Jasmine Rice before cooking?
Yes. For the best texture and to remove excess starch, we recommend rinsing the rice 2-3 times until the water runs relatively clear.
What is the water-to-rice ratio for cooking?
For perfect results, use a 1:1.5 ratio (1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water). If using a rice cooker, follow the "Jasmine" or "White Rice" setting lines.
Is this rice "New Crop" or "Old Crop"?
Jasmine rice is usually best consumed within a year of harvest to maintain its maximum fragrance. Rooster ensures a fresh supply to provide that signature scent.
Does this rice contain any additives or artificial scents?
No. The "scented" nature of Rooster Jasmine Rice is 100% natural, coming from the specific variety of the rice plant itself.
How long does an 18.1 kg bag stay fresh?
White rice has an almost indefinite shelf life if kept dry. However, for peak fragrance and flavor, we recommend consuming it within 12 months of purchase and storing it in an airtight container.
