Royal 817 Elephant Thai Hom Mali Jasmine White Rice, Gluten Free, Kosher, Non-GMO- 50 lb

The sturdy blue 50 lb bulk bag (with handle and zipper for easy handling) features the iconic 817 Elephant branding alongside “Thai Hom Mali Jasmine Rice – naturally fragrant.” This size is ideal for restaurants, buffets, or large households.

Key Characteristics

•  Aroma — Releases a sweet, floral jasmine scent (often compared to popcorn) while cooking, thanks to natural compounds from high-altitude cultivation. 

•  Texture & Flavor — Cooks into soft, tender, fluffy grains that separate nicely (non-sticky) with a rich, nutty, “melt-in-your-mouth” taste. Long grains measure roughly ¼–5/16 inch.

•  Nutrition — Naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients. Per approximate ¼-cup (45 g) dry serving: ~160 calories, 35–36 g carbs, 3 g protein, 0 g fat. It is gluten-free, Orthodox Union Kosher, and Non-GMO.

Cooking Instructions

Use a 1 : 1½ ratio (1 cup rice to 1½ cups water + ½ tsp salt). Bring to a boil, stir once, cover, reduce to low heat, and simmer 18 minutes. Remove from heat, let rest covered 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. It also works beautifully for fried rice (cook drier and cool first) or enhanced with pandan leaves or toasted in oil. 

Perfect For

This versatile rice shines in Asian cuisine (stir-fries, curries, Thai dishes) but also pairs excellently with pilafs, stuffings, grilled chicken/fish/steak, vegetarian bowls, or international favorites like biryani or lemon rice. 

Customers consistently rate it 5 stars for its authentic aroma, fluffy texture, consistent quality, and great value in bulk. It’s the go-to choice when you want restaurant-grade Thai jasmine rice at home or in a commercial kitchen.
