Brown jasmine rice is a wholegrain version of traditional jasmine rice, offering a slightly nuttier flavour and firmer texture while still keeping the fragrant aroma jasmine rice is known for.
In the UK, brown jasmine rice has become more popular among customers looking for a balance between healthier eating and authentic Asian flavours.
What Makes Brown Jasmine Rice Different?
Compared with white jasmine rice, brown jasmine rice keeps the outer bran layer, giving it:
- more texture
- a richer flavour
- longer cooking time
- a more filling feel
It works well for people who enjoy rice daily but want something slightly heartier.
