To prepare Canilla Dorado rice, rinse the grains under cold water to remove excess starch. Combine one part rice with two parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures fluffy, separate grains.

Compared to short or medium grain rice, long grain rice like Canilla Dorado tends to be drier and fluffier when cooked. The individual grains remain more distinct, whereas shorter grains can become stickier and clump together, which is desirable for dishes like risotto or sushi.
