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. 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. "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.
