Arborio Rice

Arborio rice has medium-sized grains with a prominent white dot in the center. Arborio rice cooks to a creamy smoothness, but it has a little chewy and sticky texture due to its high starch content.

Basmati Rice

Basmati rice grains become long, dry, and separated after cooking. They provide any dish with a delicious, nutty flavor and aroma. Though it may be used in many other savory dishes, it is particularly popular in Indian and Asian cuisine.

Black Rice

Black rice, often known as forbidden rice, derives its color from anthocyanins, the same antioxidant found in blueberries and blackberries. Black rice has a moderately nutty, earthy flavor and has long been utilized in Chinese cooking because of its health benefits.

Brown Rice

Brown rice is a whole grain with the bran and germ layers remaining intact, giving it its distinctive tan color. It has a harder texture and nuttier flavor than white rice, and each serving contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Sticky Rice

Glutinous rice, commonly referred to as sticky rice or sweet rice, is a long-grain white rice with a low amylose starch level that, when steamed, gives the rice an exceptionally sticky texture.
