Jasmine rice - Import export

Jasmine rice is a species of long -grained rice, which is bred primarily in Thailand and used in Asian cuisine. In addition to Thailand, which is its main supplier, jasmine rice is currently grown in Cambodia, southern Vietnam and Laos. One of its characteristic features is a slightly noticeable, sweet fragrance reminiscent of jasmine - this is where its name came from. It also has a specific, very slightly sweet taste, sometimes referred to as honey. Jasmine has a lot of nutritional values. First of all, it is a great source of carbohydrates and protein, and at the same time has little fat, so it is often chosen by people practicing sport or slimming. It can also be consumed by those who have digestive problems - jasmine rice is easily digestible and does not burden the stomach, although it leaves a feeling of satiety. Rice is a gluten -free product. It is also an excellent source of B vitamins, vitamin E and potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron and phosphorus.
