Rice has been a side dish to many meals for almost everyone all across the world for many years. We like it because it is easy, affordable and get be adapted to fit any meal. However, knowing how to cook rice perfectly and which rice you should make have been things that many of us have never quite be able to master.
Everything You Need To Know About Rice & How To Cook It Includes:
- Arborio rice contains a high proportion of starch that gives risotto its characteristic creamy texture.
- Bamboo rice is a white rice infused with fresh bamboo juice, which imparts a pale jade color when cooked and a fragrance similar to jasmine tea. A very moist, sticky rice.
- Basmati rice is a long grained rice that stays separate (not sticky) when cooked. It has a subtle flavor and is aromatic.
- Brown rice is actually white rice without the outer brown hull removed, so it’s considered a whole grain. It contains more nutrients and fiber than white rice.
- Colusari red rice is burgundy-colored whole-grain rice. It has a light, nutty popcorn-like flavor and chewy texture that blends well with other rice or grains.
- Jasmine rice is a fragrant white rice with a subtle nutty flavor that differs from basmati. It is less sticky than other forms of rice.
- Organic sweet brown rice is sweeter and more glutinous than regular brown rice with the added benefits of whole grain.
- White rice includes three main types, each with different characteristics. Long-grain white rice stays separate and fluffier when cooked, and it’s good for side dishes. Medium-grain rice is plumper and shorter; good for paella or as a substitute for Arborio in risotto. Short-grain white rice is the shortest and most moist; good for puddings and molded salads.
- Did you know? Wild rice is not actually rice at all, but rather a long-grain marsh grass that in the past was harvested by local residents in the Great Lakes area. Now it is cultivated commercially in many states, so it is much more available than in the past. Nutty and chewy, wild rice has a wonderful texture and flavor. It is a whole grain that contains a good amount of protein and fiber, is low in fat and contains no gluten.
