Jasmati Rice is a conventionally-bred, inbred line (variety) of long grain of rice whose name is derived from Jasmine rice and Basmati. Jasmati is neither "genetically engineered" (as in transgenic) nor is an F1 hybrid. In fact, due largely to a major resistance to GMO rice in Eurpoe, there is no GMO rice commercially grown or marketed in the U.S. It is said to possess the traits of both grains - namely the softness (when cooked) of Basmati, and the nutty aroma of Jasmine - the latter in muted tones so as to be more subtle. Whereas Jasmine Rice is not as sold in the average American supermarket, Jasmati has become a more common find.
