Talk:Jasmine rice

message: Added glycemic index section as the GI of jasmine rice is through the roof. It's incredibly unhealthy compared to even generic short grain parboiled rice which in itself is pretty valueless. I think it's an important section to keep as it has a GI higher than pure sugar (basmati rice section has portion outlining its low GI). It may be worthwhile to expand the glycemic index into a general 'nutritional content' type section, as this is a food that is literally replete of nutritional value. Most candy bars have more nutritional value depending on fat content. Jasmine rice has no fiber, no vitamins, no protein, all carbs. Expanding on nutrition may be worthwhile a little more "big picture relevant" than the more granular portions discussing pesticides and aroma molecules.

thread_title:  Glycemic index 

message: G'day, can someone who knows, please provide a citation about the English naming of this rice as "jasmine rice"? My wife insists that it must be due to some processing of the rice whereby it is infused with the fragrance of jasmine flowers, and I'm quite sure that it isn't. My vague understanding is that the Thai name means "white flower rice", referring to the flowering stage of the plant, not some processing. I'd be very grateful if someone could clear up this misconception (hers or mine, I don't care which!) with some authoritative citations. cheers, Webaware talk 03:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Consumer reports says arsenic in rice is a larger problem than indicated here.  Uncle Ben's for example 

message: I've removed the bit about higher levels of arsenic in American rice, because this article is about jasmine rice and not American rice. The source did mention "basmati rice imported from India and Pakistan and jasmine rice from Thailand to contain the least arsenic", but that was just in passing, and the article titled "Food Safety: U.S. Rice Serves Up Arsenic" is specifically all about American rice.

thread_title:  Arsenic 

message: The article currently says "Jasmine rice has a very high glycemic index of 109, which is more than pure glucose". There are other sources that agree, but still other sources that give different figures - for example this, this and "www.ehow.com/info_8117005_lowglycemic-index-foods-rice.html" (can't link cos it seems to be blacklisted) give 89. A glycemic index higher than pure glucose does sound strange, so I'd think we'd need some more reliable sourcing for it - it could be one of those things that someone once said and has been picked up on and republished. Any suggestions what to do? Squinge (talk) 09:20, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, possibly answering myself, this PubMed source might be a better one to use, giving a range of 96-116 for various samples of jasmine rice. Squinge (talk) 09:31, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
