FACTS ABOUT RICE:
Rice is more than just a side dish - it's one of the most widely consumed food staples,
feeding nearly half of the world's population. For many cultures, rice is not just a food,
but a part of everyday life. White rice can last many years, because the bran and germ are
not intact. Brown rice and other whole-grain rice do not to keep longer than 6 months.
It's best to use whole-grain rice within 3 to 6 months. It's also a good idea to store rice in
a cool dry place, or better yet in your refrigerator or freezer.
WHITE RICE
White rice is the most commonly consumed rice in the world. It works well as a balancing
side dish and incorporates well with main dishes, stir-frys, etc. Most white rice cooks up
in 20 minutes. Instant rice cooks up in 5 to 10 minutes.
BROWN RICE
Brown rice has a higher nutritional value than white rice. Any variety of rice, including
short, medium and long grain, can have a brown counterpart - all rice starts out as a
whole grain. Brown rice requires double the amount of cooking time, typically 40
minutes.
SUSHI RICE
Sushi rice is commonly referred to as a short grain rice. Distinctly prepared, the rice is
steamed and then combined with a mixture of sugar, salt and rice vinegar. Sushi rice
varieties can also be used to make Asian desserts and rice pudding.
WILD RICE
Wild rice is simply a seed of grass. It can be enjoyed just the same as white or brown rice.
It has the longest required cooking time of up to 50 minutes. When cooked, the kernels
typically split open giving the rice an airy, fluffy texture.
