| Rice is grown throughout Thailand 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. Traditionally, removing the shell was done with hand tools such as a krok som mue, striking the rice with a long wood mallet as it sits in a large wooden bowl, then sifting out the bran to get a nice polished white grain.
