About Rice
Rice is a valuable source of low fat, complex carbohydrates and is abundant in thiamin, niacin
and iron. It is an essential ingredient for a healthy diet. There are many different varieties of rice
available in the market. Your Rice Pasta Gourmetcan cook any rice variation to perfection.
Following are the commonly available varieties of rice and their characteristics:
Long Grain Rice
Typically this rice is not starchy and has loose, individual grains after cooking. "Carolina" rice is
firm, and "Jasmine" is the firmest of the long grain variety and is flavorful and aromatic.
Short Grain Rice
Short grain is characteristically soft, sticky and chewy. This is the rice used to make sushi.
"California Rice" is soft; "Sweet Rice", often called "pearl" rice for its round shape, is extra sticky
and is excellent for making rice pudding.
Brown Rice
Brown rice is often considered the most healthy variety. It has bran layers on the rice grains and
contains more B-complex vitamins, iron, calcium, and fiber than polished (white) rice. The most
popular brown rice is long grain and has a chewy texture. Unrefined brown rice is a whole grain
food.
Wild Rice
Wild Rice comes in many delicious varieties and mixes. Often it is mixed with long grain rice for
its firmer texture and rich brown to black color. Wild rice makes wonderful stuffing for poultry
when cooked with broth and mixed with your favorite dried fruits
