If you eat rice, for most delicious rice, look for "new crop".

Hello from Thailand. where we know a bit about rice.
In my years here, I have learned that the most delicious Jasmine rice, is the "new crop".

It comes in large bags ... like ordinary rice ... plus the bag will state, "New Crop".
Local grocery in Western countries unlikely to have New Crop rice.
Probably must go to specialty, Asian food store.
And maybe have to ask for it ... if they have it at all, may keep "in the back" for special customers.
Or maybe can order on-line.

Taste and aroma are so superior to ordinary Jasmine rice, it's worth the effort to search for New Crop.
Photo attached gives an example what to look for.

I have to switch between different types of rice. Mostly I eat white basmati rice from Pakistan and just regular white parboiled rice. Because they have lower glycemic index. Jasmine rice, sushi rice have very high glycemic index and I would get hungry fast. It is almost like eating cream of rice.. So I prefer rice that is not sticky and takes little longer to digest..

Thanks, @jiri, but your reply is somewhat off target.
The topic here is New Crop Jasmine rice.

Did you ever taste New Crop rice?
Or not?
If you have, what is your opinion of the taste?

@larry-2 all I am saying is that it doesn't Master how good it is. At some point you will get tired of every food if you eat it Daily for decades.. Rice is my main soudce of carbs, calories for last 20 years and like I Said to me function is more important than taste...
