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.
