geovalin 1,515 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 The world's best-tasting rice this year was organized at the 12th Rice Trader World Rice Conference 2020 in the United States. Thailand's jasmine rice 105 variety is generated from a volatile matter called 2-acetyl-1-pyroline. However to maintain its fragrance, the rice has to be kept in cool places at around 15 degrees Celsius. Vietnam's ST25 fragrant rice was ranked second at the 2020 World's Best Rice Contest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
moogradod 238 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 And this was across all grain types ? As well short grain ? I doubt a Jasmine rice would win in terms of taste. The best rice that I have ever tasted is Kokuho Rose Rice, a short grain grown in California. Beats everything I ever came across by a far margin - including short grain I have tasted in Japan. Very unfortunately I have never seen this rice in Thailand and I do not know how much it would cost to import incl. taxes etc. (available on Amazon). Link to post Share on other sites
Cake Monster 4,949 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 All very well and good for having the Best Rice . What is really required is the Best and Cheapest Rice to gain World Market share again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
D M G 29 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Which brand? How do I find at the supermarket? Bag photo? Link to post Share on other sites
Soikhaonoiken 1,086 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 That's OK having the best rice, but you have to sell it world wide, and there is little chance of that with such a strong Baht exchange rate. Link to post Share on other sites

colinneil 75,992 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I always thought rice was just rice, until i married my present wife. In our store room we have 4 different rice types, the other day i went to mill some rice, bag was sticky rice bag nearly empty, so i opened/ milled some from another bag, wife comes home..... Yak, yak, yak, why you do that she asks. Oops silly me, i mixed jasmine rice and sticky rice together. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My personal preference is India Gate basmati rice [classic long grain] best rice I've ever tasted. Link to post Share on other sites
