ABOUT RICE

Rice is a valuable source of carbohydrates. It has low fat, complex carbohydrates and is abundant in thiamin, niacin and iron. It is perfect ingredient for a healthful diet.

More than half of the world's population eats rice everyday.

There are different varieties of rice available in the market. You may select one that fits your eating tastes. 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. The "California" rice is soft; "Carolina" is a little firmer, and "Jasmine" is the firmest and is flavorful and aromatic.

Short Grain Rice

Characteristically soft, sticky and chewy. This is the rice used to make sushi. Oriental people (Japanese and Chinese) are in favor of these varieties: "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 healthful variety. It has the 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.
