How long does uncooked jasmine rice last?
If stored in a cool, dry area in an airtight container, uncooked white jasmine rice can last indefinitely. For best quality, use within 2 years.
Is jasmine rice gluten-free?
Yes, jasmine rice is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe grain for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
What is the best substitute for jasmine rice?

Look for 'Thai Hom Mali' certification on the package. The grains should be long, translucent, and have a distinct floral aroma even when raw.
Can I freeze cooked jasmine rice?
