FACTS ABOUT RICE
Rice is more than just a side dish - it’s one of the most widely consumed food
staples, feeding nearly half of the world’s population. For many cultures, rice is not
just a food, but a part of everyday life. White rice can last many years, because the
bran and germ are not intact. Brown rice and other whole-grain rice do not to keep
longer than 6 months. It’s best to use whole-grain rice within 3 to 6 months. It’s
also a good idea to store rice in a cool dry place, or better yet in your refrigerator or
freezer.
WHITE RICE:
White rice is the most commonly consumed rice in the world. It works well as a
balancing side dish and incorporates well with main dishes, stir-frys, etc. Most white
rice cooks up in 20 minutes. Instant rice cooks up in 5 to 10 minutes.
BROWN/WILD RICE:
Brown rice has a higher nutritional value than white rice. Any variety of rice,
including short, medium and long grain, can have a brown counterpart - all rice
starts out as a
whole grain. Brown rice requires double the amount of cooking time, typically 40
minutes.
Wild rice is simply a seed of grass. It can be enjoyed just the same as white or brown
rice. It has the longest required cooking time of up to 50 minutes. When cooked, the
kernels typically split open giving the rice an airy, fluffy texture.
SUSHI RICE:
Sushi rice is commonly referred to as a short grain rice. Distinctly prepared, the rice
is steamed and then combined with a mixture of sugar, salt and rice vinegar. Sushi
rice varieties can also be used to make Asian desserts and rice pudding.
