What it is
This is a package of long grain white rice. It is a staple grain that has been milled to remove its outer husk, bran, and germ. This process results in a lighter color and a longer shelf life compared to brown rice. The grains are typically separate and fluffy when cooked properly. It is a versatile ingredient that forms the base of many meals.

To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice with the appropriate amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it steam, covered, for a few minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork. The ratio of rice to liquid is important for achieving the desired texture.
