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 Aroma Rice
Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. The following are the most common
varieties of rice available 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. "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.
