Jasmine Rice (Thai: kao hom mali) is a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty aroma and subtle flavor. This rice should be rinsed before cooking to rid it of extra starch. The grains will cling when cooked, though having less amylopectin, it is less sticky than other rices. Most households in Thailand consume this type of rice and is commonly found in supermarkets, the rice is mainly used for many types of rice dishes or plain white rice in Thailand. Hawkers and most commercial establishments do not use this type of rice for cooking due to its high price.
