Jasmine rice has a glycemic index of 68–80. [18] Foods with a glycemic index of 55 or lower are preferred in the diet of diabetics due to their slower absorption which prevents large spikes in blood sugar after consumption. Not all rice has a high glycemic index. Basmati rice, for example, has a relatively low glycemic index of 59. However, it is uncommon for rice to be eaten alone. It is usually eaten with other foods that can reduce its glycemic index by 20–40 percent. [19] Culinary uses [ edit ] Shiwen Lin; Songkoon Chantachon; Sastra Laoakka (December 2013).

Characteristics of Royal Umbrella jasmine rice Jasmine rice ( Thai: ข้าวหอมมะลิ; RTGS: Khao hom mali; Thai pronunciation: [kʰâːw hɔ̌ːm malíʔ]) is a long-grain variety of fragrant rice (also known as aromatic rice). Its fragrance, reminiscent of pandan ( Pandanus amaryllifolius) and popcorn, [2] results from the rice plant's natural production of aroma compounds, of which 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is the most salient. [3] A rapid loss of aromatic intensity leads many Southeast Asians and connoisseurs to prefer each year's freshly harvested "new crop" of jasmine rice. [4] Jasmine rice is a variety of Oryza sativa.
