GourmET nEWS oCTobEr 2016 www.gourmetnews.com PASTA, GrAinS & SAuCES 1 8 Rice is certainly a national emblem of Thai food. Even though Thailand is only the 50th largest coun- try in the world in terms of its total area, the country ranks fifth-largest in the world in terms of the amount of its acreage devoted to rice paddy. Four out of five Thais are agriculturists, and most of those are rice farmers, recognized by the Thai people as the backbone of the nation. Thailand has been a rice exporter for more than 100 years and one of the world's leading rice exporters for more than 50 years. Thailand is one of the world's best places for growing quality rice of many dif- ferent varieties, especially Thai Hom Mali Rice. All of these rice varieties are gluten free and give health benefits. They are therefore suitable for health-conscious consumers of all ages, particularly for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Other than rice it- self, one of great rice-based prod- ucts from Thailand is rice bran oil, which can be used in deep- frying or even in making a salad. Moreover, a diverse selection of quality rice-based products from Thailand, ranging from rice crackers, and rice pasta to baby food, is available to American consumers.

In ad- dition to be being gluten free, the Sesame Teriyaki Sauce is loaded with the full flavor of organic tamari soy sauce, roasted garlic, toasted sesame oil and wildflower honey. It adds a truly flavorful, savory sweet dynamic to both Asian and everyday dishes. The new Honey Miso Barbecue Sauce features miso, a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by ferment- ing soybeans and is popular in Japanese cuisine. Its hearty, nutty taste balances nicely with the other organic ingredients that include wildflower honey, Dijon mustard and sesame oil. To- gether, the ingredients deliver a rich and thick barbecue sauce with interesting layers of flavor. Both are delicious, great for grilling and can be used in recipes, on sandwiches or as dipping sauces.
