The true distinction resides in the vitamins, minerals, and fiber content. By removing the bran to create white rice, nutrients B1, B3, and iron are lost. In the processing of “enriched” rice, one or more of these nutrients are brought back in. However, white rice grains lose magnesium and certain healthy fatty acids that are never replaced.

• Additionally, brown rice is a superior source of fiber, with 3.5 grams per cup compared to 0.6 grams per cup for white rice.
• The short and the long of it Typically, rice grains are classified as short, medium, or long.
• Arborio is a medium-grain rice, whereas basmati is a long-grain rice.
• Almost often, sushi rice is short-grained.

Contrary to popular belief, the classification is based on the grain’s starch content rather than its actual length. Therefore, when cooked, short-grain rice is sticky, long-grain rice seems drier and more compact, and Arborio rice achieves a chewy-sticky equilibrium (i.e.

1. Risotto). Whatever rice for which purpose? Long-grain rice, such as basmati and jasmine, is ideal for pilafs, fried rice, and other recipes where the grains should remain distinct.
2. In addition, they are the ideal option for simply adding a starch to a dish.
3. Paella, casseroles, and rice puddings benefit with medium-grain rice.

The somewhat sticky grains retain the sauce and thicken the meal. In addition, risotto may only be prepared with rice of medium grain size. Rice with short grains is ideal for fried rice cakes, sushi, and sticky Thai sweets. However, sticky, short-grain rice is an excellent accompaniment to spicy Southeast Asian meals such as Thai and Vietnamese curries.

1. Advice on keeping rice Once a packet of rice has been opened, it should be transferred to zip-top plastic bags or airtight glass jars for storage.
2. Do not purchase the 20-pound bag at a big-box retailer unless you’ll consume it inside a year.
3. Most pantry moths develop from eggs that have been dormant on rice grains.

Due to the bran’s fatty acids and oils, brown rice gets rancid more quickly than white rice. Always smell brown rice before cooking it to ensure that it does not have a sour, off odor like rancid oil. Rice cooking appliances Nearly every Asian household contains a rice cooker.

Then why not? Simply add rice and water, and the machine will cook it in an enclosed, steamy atmosphere. Even better, a rice cooker can keep rice warm for hours, so supper will be ready whenever you are. Look for: A cycle of automated keep-warming. There are several settings for brown rice, white rice, and other rice varieties.

A nonstick coating if you want to cook a great deal of sticky rice A cover that seals the steam within the pot. Some modern cookers are equipped with “fuzzy logic” in their internal processors, allowing them to determine the grain’s moisture level and cook them to perfection every time.

White	Not only have the bran and hull been removed, but the white endosperm has been polished.
Brown (and various shades from russet to terra-cotta to dark walnut)	Any type of rice may remain brown: brown arborio, brown basmati and even brown sushi rice are available at high-end markets and many health-food stores.
Red	This brown rice has a distinctive, nutty taste, favored in many Southeast Asian dishes. Its color comes from the distinctively red bran.
Black	There are two types of this whole-grain varietal: forbidden rice from Asia which is very sticky, and black japonica from the U.S. which has a crunchy, earthy taste.
Green	This specialty white rice is made by pressure-treating grains with bamboo juice.
Golden	This brand-new varietal has been engineered by German and Swiss scientists to include beta-carotene in the grains.

Alternatives to traditional rice

Wild rice	It’s actually a wild grass, not a paddy rice. In fact, it’s a separate genus altogether, indigenous to the Upper Midwest of the U.S.
Converted rice	This is white rice that has been parboiled to reduce cooking time. Nutrients have often been added back to the grains although their texture is compromised.
Instant rice	This is fully cooked rice that has been dehydrated. Its texture may be more delicate than standard long-cook rice, but it has the advantage of cooking more quickly.
Cream of rice	For porridge-making, this is instant rice that has been ground after cooking.
