Dietitian note

Onions, particularly when eaten raw, contain compounds that can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscle responsible for keeping stomach contents in place. When this muscle loses its tension, gastric acid can more easily reflux into the esophagus, causing the painful burning sensation of heartburn. Additionally, onions are high in fermentable fibers that may increase stomach pressure and delay digestion, further exacerbating GERD symptoms for sensitive individuals.

Description

Long-grain jasmine offers a mildly floral aroma and tender, slightly sticky texture when cooked; grains tend to remain separate yet cling for scooping. Commonly served alongside Mexican dishes, used in burritos, bowls, and rice-and-bean sides. Reviews note consistent aroma and fluffiness, with occasional notes about cooking water ratios affecting texture.
