Rice is the perfect foundation for today’s healthier eating. It is a nutrient-dense
complex carbohydrate that supplies energy, fiber, essential vitamins and
minerals and beneficial antioxidants. Rice combines well with other healthy
foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, poultry, beans and soy foods.
Nearly 88% of rice consumed in the U.S. is grown in the U.S. Arkansas, California,
Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Missouri produce high-quality varieties of short,
medium and long grain rice as well as specialty rices including jasmine, basmati,
arborio, red aromatic and black japonica, among others.
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
commonly available varieties of rice and their characteristics:
Long Grain Rice
This rice has a long, slender kernel
three to four times longer than its
width. Due to its starch composition,
cooked grains are more separate, light
and fluffy compared to medium or
short grain rice. The majority of white
rice is enriched to restore nutrients lost
during processing. Great for entrees
and side dishes – rice bowls, stir-fries,
salads and pilafs.
Medium Grain Rice
When compared to long grain rice,
medium grain rice has a shorter, wider
kernel that is two to three times longer
than its width. Cooked grains are more
moist and tender than long grain, and
have a greater tendency to cling
together. Great for entrees, sushi,
risotto and rice puddings.
Short Grain Rice
Short grain rice has a short, plump,
almost round kernel. Cooked grains
are soft and cling together, yet remain
separate and are somewhat chewy,
with a slight springiness to the bite.
Great for sushi, Asian dishes and
desserts.
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a 100% whole grain food
that fits the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for
Americans recommendation to
increase daily intake of whole grains.
Brown rice contains the nutrient-dense
bran and inner germ layer where
many beneficial compounds are
found. Brown rice is available in short,
medium and long grain varieties and
can be used interchangeably with
enriched white rice.
Wild Rice
Wild rice is an aquatic grass grown in
Minnesota and California and is a
frequent addition to long grain rice
pilafs and rice mixes. Its unique flavor,
texture and rich dark color provide a
delicious accent to rice dishes. Wild
rice also makes a wonderful stuffing for
poultry when cooked with broth and
mixed with your favorite dried fruits.
