[edit] Fragrant rice
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)
