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:

15

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.
