How people cook with it
Rice is a fundamental ingredient in countless cuisines. It serves as a base for savory dishes and can be a component in sweet preparations.
- Side dish for main courses
- Base for stir-fries
- Ingredient in casseroles
- Component of pilafs
To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Combine one part rice with two parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until 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 evenly cooked grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Long grain rice, like this variety, cooks up light and separate compared to medium or short grain rice, which can be stickier. The enrichment process adds back specific nutrients that may be lost during milling, making it a more complete food source.

How to keep the rest
