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. Wildrice
makes wonderful stuffing for poultry
when cooked with broth and mixed
with your favorite dried fruits.
