There are three general types of brown rice:
Long Grain Rice: has a long, slender kernel
three to four times longer than its width. Cooked
grains are more separate, light and fl uffy.
Medium Grain Rice: has a shorter, wider kernel
two to three times longer than its width. Cooked
grains are moist and tender and have a greater
tendency to cling together.
Short Grain Rice: has a short, plump, almost
round kernel. Cooked grains are tender, cling
together, and are slightly chewy.
