How people cook with it
Rice is a fundamental ingredient in many cuisines worldwide. It can be served as a side dish or incorporated into main courses.
- Side dish for stir-fries
- Base for rice bowls
- Ingredient in casseroles
- Component of sushi
To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures evenly cooked grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Calrose rice is a medium-grain variety. It tends to be stickier and more moist than long-grain rice like Basmati or Jasmine. Its plump grains absorb flavors well, making it ideal for dishes where a slightly cohesive texture is desired.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain its freshness and prevents it from absorbing odors from other foods. Properly stored, it can last for a considerable time.
