Features:
ST25 rice is a long-grain variety with grains that remain strong and separate when cooked, giving it a firm texture. It has a delightful fragrance, similar to Jasmine rice but more subtle and refined. The rice is known for its balance between fragrance, flavor, and grain integrity, making it a versatile and high-quality choice for various dishes. Its grains are long, slender, and non-sticky, ideal for gourmet cooking. What sets ST25 apart is its ability to maintain its shape and strength even after cooking, making it especially suited for dishes that require non-sticky, separate grains
Usage:
ST25 rice is widely used in premium dishes, especially in Southeast Asian cuisine. It is perfect for serving with curries, stir-fries, and grilled meats, and it holds up well in both home cooking and restaurant settings. Because of its firm texture, ST25 rice is ideal for making rice dishes where the grains need to stay separate, such as fried rice, pilafs, or steamed rice platters
Popularity:
Since winning the title of “World’s Best Rice” in 2019, ST25 has gained significant attention both in Vietnam and internationally. It is highly sought after by consumers who are looking for premium rice for special occasions or high-quality daily meals. Its popularity extends across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and is growing in Western markets as well
Price:
ST25 rice is priced higher than regular rice varieties like Jasmine or ST20 due to its award-winning status and superior quality. Its premium nature makes it more expensive, but many consumers are willing to pay the extra cost for its world-class attributes
Similar Varieties:
Comparable varieties include other premium fragrant rice like Thai Hom Mali and KDM rice, though ST25’s award-winning status gives it a unique edge in the market
