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
- Rinse: Wash 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Soak (optional): For softer texture, soak for 30 minutes before cooking.
- 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.
- 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.)
