cnxvegan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hey all, I had this a few times back home, sometimes I would get a bag of rice that had an incredible smell and taste to it similar to popcorn , it was rare and seemed to vary by the batch, but it was the most incredible tasting rice I have ever had. i have experienced it in basmati and jasmine, and a Australian brand I buy back home has this flavor too (koala rice), but it is very weak compared to what I have had anywgo, given how much rice variety there is here, does anyone know of any rice that has the quality I'm looking for here?, currently I have tried pretty much every premium brand I can find, and none have any of that taste to them any ideas?

tonray Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 What you are describing is really a long grain basmati rice. I have never found jasmine rice to be particularly fragrant but really good basmati definitely is. You can try Foodland as they have a nice (but small selection) of premium brands. I can't recommend any particular brand but the best way to tell is not to buy packaged rice as you never really know what you are getting but head out to a real wet/dry goods market where the rice is displayed and you can touch and smell what you are buying, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnxvegan Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah, it was basmati, I have had it in jasmine too though, back home I have tried many premium brands of basmati and none have had the strong taste, only time I got it was on bag of supermarket brand basmati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
