ABOUT RICE
Long Grain Rice
Typically this rice is not starchy and
has loose, individual grains after
cooking. "Carolina" 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.
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.
