Thai Hom Mali rice, also known as Thai Jasmine rice, is the most famous Thai rice known globally. When cooked, the rice is white, fluffy, and beautifully shiny. Even when cooled, it still retains its high elasticity. The unique feature of Thai Hom Mali rice is the aroma of pandan leaves when cooked.
Thai Hom Mali is a seasonal rice variety that is only grown once a year and is harvested from October to November every year. They are grown mainly in the provincial areas of northeastern Thailand such as Ubon Ratchathani, Burirum, Sisaket, Roi Et, Yasothon and Surin. These are the provinces that meet the climatic and soil conditions and produce rice of the highest quality.
