Rice is grown throughout Vietnam in large flat fields which become brilliant green as the rice paddy matures before harvest. Some regions provide for harvest of Jasmine Rice twice yearly, other areas can support a harvest just once per year. The pictures below show a small organic rice paddy a short time before harvest. White jasmine rice is produced by first harvesting the paddy, and separating the rice grain from the outer shell.

Nowadays rice is processed in a modern milling machine, which cleans the rice first, removes the shell, polishes the rice, sorts it and puts in a bag using a sequential operation. There are no additives, no chemicals, whiteners or anything else added to the rice. In recent years, more people are consuming brown jasmine rice, which is identical to white jasmine rice except that it has not gone through the final polishing stage which removes the thin, brown outer membrane

the Jasmine Rice has higher vitamin & Fiber content, and requires a bit more water and time to cook. Brown jasmine rice is also a bit more crunchy, but has a similar taste overall.
