What's the difference between basmati and jasmine rice?

2 Answers

Both jasmine and basmati rice are long-grain rice types. However, jasmine rice is slightly shorter and rounder as compared to basmati which is very long, slender, and needle-shaped. The grains of basmati elongate to almost twice their size after being cooked. They also become softer and fluffier.

According to BiteMyBun.com, Basmati rice grains get two times larger once cooked & stay separated, giving it a dryer, more fluffy texture. Jasmine rice becomes moist & clumps together slightly, giving it a soft, more sticky texture. Each type of rice comes in both white and whole-grain varieties.
