A healthier alternative to white rice, red jasmine rice gets its distinctive colour from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. Beyond its vibrant hue, this rice offers a range of nutritional benefits:

Rich in antioxidants: Includes tocopherols (Vitamin E), anthocyanins, and other polyphenols contribute to anti‑inflammatory and immune‑boosting properties.

High in fibre: Supports digestive health, promotes satiety, and helps regulate blood sugar levels compared to refined white rice.

Source of protein: Contains about 9g of protein per 100g, making it more nourishing than polished rice varieties.

Essential minerals: Provides iron, magnesium, manganese, and selenium, which are important for energy production, bone strength, and immune function.

Healthy fats: Contains beneficial unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA), supporting cardiovascular health.

Culinary Notes

  • Nutty, slightly sweet flavor with a chewy texture.
  • Can be used as a base for grain bowls or mixed with other rice varieties for added colour and nutrition.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Rinse: Wash 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak (optional): For softer texture, soak for 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Cook: Add 1 cup rice to 2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes until water is absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. (Tip: For extra fragrance, cook with pandan leaves or a splash of coconut milk.)
