Thai for "recent / latest harvest" (of rice)

[bow]

I have failed to find this on the internet.

First I need to explain. The nicest Thai rice is what is called, in English, "fragrant rice" or "jasmine rice".

Rice is stored in warehouses for, only the Gods now, know, how long. However, the fragrant rice will over time loose its "fragrance" . You don't want to spend a lot of money on rice that has been sitting in a warehouse for 35 years (I am exaggerating).

Consequently, there is a Thai expression for the "latest/most recent harvest" of rice, because that is what you want if you want rice that is truly fragrant.

Anybody here that understands what the ..............(think of of a bad word) I am talking about ?

Here are a couple of terms you will sometimes hear in restaurants.

ข้าวมดอายุ rice passed its sell by date
ข้าวบูด, rice that is rancid.

Thanks, apparently it is easier than I thought. It is just plain "new rice".

I checked my current bag of rice and it was packaged just a couple of weeks ago. The "best before" date is six years later. You get that nice smell when you cook it, so it's probably "new" - which it should be when you pay 250 baht for 5 kg.
