Thai rice primarily refers to the world-renowned Jasmine Rice (Hom Mali), known for its soft texture, sweet taste, and floral pandan aroma, making it a national staple and major export, alongside other varieties like sticky rice (Khao Neow) for the Northeast, and essential for dishes like Thai fried rice (Khao Pad).
Key Types of Thai Rice
Jasmine Rice (Khao Hom Mali): The iconic long-grain rice, soft and fragrant when cooked, often with a pandan scent, used widely in Thai cuisine.
Glutinous Rice (Khao Neow/Sticky Rice): Opaque, milky, shorter grains that become very sticky and sweet when cooked, popular in Northern and Northeastern Thailand.
