ABOUT RICE

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

There are many different varieties of rice available in the market. Your Aroma Sensor Logic™ Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. 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 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. Many Asian cultures favor 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 healthy 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.
