11.Jasmine Rice
Also called Thai fragrant rice, its slightly flowery aroma is unmatched. It also has a little more stickiness than you might expect from a long-grain rice. It’s soft and holds its shape well after cooking. You could easily swap jasmine for basmati or vice versa. Both give your dishes a little more oomph than your average long-grain rice.
12.Thai Purple Rice
This one falls more on the sweet side. It’s usually served in desserts, but it’s branching out and finding its way into savory dishes as well. Pro tip: If you plan to add other foods to the rice, hold off until the very last minute. It’s a lot like beets in that it’ll leave dark purple stains on everything it touches.
