lungbing Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've given up eating jasmine rice. It's either so old as to be flavourless, or so adulterated with ordinary rice as to be flavourless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtsabai Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 American's have had Jasmine rice for well over 20 years, probably 30. I once mentioned to some rice farmers down in SE Texas that the Thai growers had obtained a patent, they laughed. Then they said we've been growing it for years.
