ABOUT RICE

Rice as we know it was most likely developed when

wild grasses were domesticated about 5,000 years

ago. Thousands of varieties or rice are grown around

the world.

Rice is a very important ingredient in the diet of over

half the world’s population. In many cultures it is

consumed 3 times a day. It can be used to make

everything from soups to salads, side dishes, entrées

and desserts.

Brown Rice

Brown rice is a whole grain rice from which the outer

husk has been removed. It is more nutritious than white

rice and has a nutty flavor. Although long-grain is the

most common type of brown rice, it is also available in

medium- and short-grain varieties.

White Rice

White rice is a brown rice that has been stripped of its

bran and germ. Due to the stripping process, white rice

has fewer nutrients and less fiber than brown rice. The

long-grain variety of white rice cooks into soft separate

grains.

Converted Rice

Converted rice is white rice that has been steamed

before the bran is removed, which preserves some

nutrients. The grains remain firmer than regular

long-grain white rice, which makes it a good choice to

add to long-cooking dishes, such as jambalaya, gumbo

and paella.

Basmati Rice

Basmati is an aromatic white rice. Its long, tender grains

have a distinct earthy aroma. It’s great with curries or in

pilafs.

Jasmine Rice

Jasmine, like Basmati, is a type of aromatic white rice

with long separate grains and a distinct perfumy aroma.

Wehani Red Rice

Wehani Red is a California medium-grained hybrid

based on an Asian red rice variety. It has a chewy

texture and an aroma similar to popcorn.

Arborio Rice

Arborio is a short-grained variety that becomes creamy

with constant stirring while cooking. It remains slightly

firm after cooking, but absorbs the flavor of the cooking

liquid. Arborio is a classic choice for making risotto.
