To preserve the quality and freshness of Lotao rice, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will protect the rice from moisture and pests. Cooked rice should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days to best preserve its flavor and freshness.

Jasmine rice and basmati rice differ mainly in their origin, aroma, texture and preparation. Jasmine rice comes from Southeast Asia and is known for its slightly sweet, floral scent. Its grains remain soft and somewhat sticky when cooked, making it ideal for Asian dishes such as curries or stir-fries. Basmati rice, on the other hand, is grown in the regions of India and Pakistan and is characterized by a nutty aroma. When cooked, it remains dry and fluffy, making it the perfect choice for dishes such as biryani or as a side dish in Indian and oriental cuisine.
