The Rice Table🍙

Rice has long been considered one of mankind's most useful foods and is available in an incredible number of varieties; depending on the number of countries producing it, there are estimated to be thousands! Rice can be classified by grain size (long, medium, short), grain texture (sticky vs. non-sticky), and grain aroma (fragrant or nonfragrant). Long-grain rice (e.g., basmati, jasmine) is known for its fragrant flavor, fluffy texture after cooking, and ability to serve as the ideal canvas for delectably spiced pilafs and stir-fries. Medium-grain rice (e.g., arborio) has more starch and releases this starch during cooking to create the creamy textured product desired for risotto. Short-grain rice (e.g., bomba) tends to be soft and sticky when cooked, giving it the ability to easily be shaped into rolls or eaten with chopsticks.

There are also several specialty grains, including black rice (sometimes referred to as "forbidden rice") or red rice, both of which are chewy, have a nutty flavor, and are loaded with healthful antioxidants. Because rice is a staple of most of the world's people and each country produces many rice varieties, the choice of type(s) of rice used in a dish has a significant impact on how that dish tastes and on how successfully it will be prepared, whether using an oven, microwave, stovetop, or some other method.
