This fragrant, slightly sweet rice cooks each rice grain separately and works anywhere classic white rice would, especially in Asian cuisines like Thai, Indian, or Cambodian.\nEASY RICE: Prepare rice according to package directions. On a stovetop, simmer 1 cup rice in 1 1\/2 cups of water with olive oil or salt for 15 minutes or until water absorbs. Or, microwave 1 3\/4 cups water and above ingredients on HIGH for 5 min, at 50% power for 10 minutes, then let stand for 5 minutes.\nTRUSTED VEGAN FOOD: Our classic Jasmine bulk rice bag is 100% vegan and vegetarian, but that's not all. It's free from gluten, MSG, and preservatives and verified by the Non-GMO Project. It's even kosher, so you can gather everyone you love around your table!\nREWRITE RECIPES: Jasmine Rice is commonly used in Thai, Indian, or Cambodian cuisine but also anywhere white rice is used. Craft an easy coconut lime rice side dish with meats and vegetables, a restaurant-style meal, rice salad, Mexican chicken and rice, Spanish rice, Indian or Thai curry, or fried rice.\nHEART \u0026amp; SOUL OF THE FAMILY TABLE: Mahatma rice is for all who give so much of themselves to provide their families with the best life possible. For close to 100 years, we’ve poured our heart and soul into every bag of quality rice and grains—so you can enjoy it with those you love.\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 4.1 x 2.63 x 6.63 inches; 2 Pounds\nItem model number ‏ : ‎ 904345SU\nUPC ‏ : ‎ 017400106959\nManufacturer ‏ : ‎ Riviana Foods Inc.\nUnits ‏ : ‎ 32.0 Ounce\nBest Sellers Rank: #1,997 in Grocery \u0026amp; Gourmet Food\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"geo-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this rice a good practical housewarming gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
