3 classifications for rice length

There are three main classifications of rice based on grain length: long, medium, and short. Long grain rice is the skinniest, short grain is short and round, and medium grain falls in between. Each type has different textures and common uses - long grain is fluffy and absorbs sauces well, short grain is sticky and used for sushi and rice pudding, and medium grain is versatile. There are thousands of rice varieties worldwide with different flavors, aromas, and textures suited to various dishes.

Ads by Google There are literally tens of thousands of different varieties of rice in the world. However, rice can actually be broken down into just three different types if you want to keep things simple. There is long-grain, medium-grain and short-grain rice. As the classifications suggest, the three different types of rice grains are categorized based upon their length as compared to their width. A skinny, long type of rice grain would be a long-grain whereas a round-ish grain that’s about as wide as it is long would be a short-grain. Long vs. Medium vs. Short Grain Rice Let’s get to know these three different rice classifications a little bit better: Long-Grain Rice Long-grain rice is easy to identify because it is the narrowest or skinniest of the different types of rice that you might come across. If a piece of rice is at least four times in length what it is in width then it is considered to
be a long grain. Long-grain rice is usually the fluffiest type of rice. For that reason it is considered the best type of rice to serve with sauces; it holds the sauce well but it also tastes good plain. A popular example of long-grain rice isBasmati. Short-Grain Rice Whereas long-grain rice is skinny and tall, short-grain rice is short and fat. It often looks round in shape because the width is so close in size to the length with this grain. Short-grain rice generally has a higher level of starch content than the other grains do making it a type of rice that tends to be sticky. For that reason it’s especially popular for rice pudding although it can be eaten alone or in other rice dishes as well. A popular example of short-grain rice is Arborio. Medium-Grain Rice Once you get a good idea of what constitutes long-grain rice and what would be considered short-grain rice, you’ll also be able to identify medium-grain rice. It’s the type of rice that falls somewhere in between the two other grains. For example, a rice grain that is about three times as long as it is wide would be a medium-grain rice. Medium-grain rice is terrific in rice-based dishes such as paella and risotto. Grains of Rice: The Exact Science As an individual in your own kitchen, you probably aren’t going to need to measure grains of rice exactly to figure
out which ones are long, medium and short. First of all, many of the packages of rice that you buy or recipes that you work off of will tell you which type of rice the one you need is. And secondly, you aren’t likely to be that picky. But just in case you are wondering, there is an exact science to the classification of rice grains. According to the LSUAg Center website, rice grain classification is based on an exact measurement set forth in the USDA Federal Grain Inspection Service Grain Inspection Handbook. The measuring process requires laying fifteen grains ofrice side by side and then end to end to measure the ratio of length to width.The exact measurements that make up each grain classification vary depending on whether the rice is brown or white. The Long and Short Of It Although there’s an exact science to the measurement of rice grains, as a novice cook you really only need to know the basics. A long skinny type of rice grain will be less sticky and a bit firmer than a short, fat rice grain.
Rice Types and Varieties Different types of rice Photo: BlueRidgeKitties @flickr How I First Learned About Cooking With Rice Rice is such a convenient food. It has been harvested for thousands of years. Rice is a staple in many cultures. It is a lifesaver for many impoverished countries. Most types of rice need lots of water to grow properly. However, wild rice doesn't need much water. Rice is a very quick growing grain. Four crops can be planted in a year. When many people think of rice, they have images of the plain white rice that you pour sugar on that was served in many school cafeterias years ago. That is the only rice I knew until I became an adult. After I joined the navy and met people from all over the United States and the world, I learned about delicious rice. There are literally tens of thousands of different varieties of rice available. And every rice grain is not created equally.
Each type of rice varies in texture, aroma, and taste. Certain types of rice are more suited for specific dishes than others. Read below to find out about the many different types of rice that can be used for cooking. photo: ecstaticist @flickr Rice Types by Grain Size and Texture First are the different types of rice according to the size of the grains. There is short grain rice, medium grain, and long grain rice. Plus broken rice is in this category. Rice is sorted by its texture as well. Some rice is very starchy. Others contain much less starch.

Different Rice Varieties Arborio rice originates from Italy. Arborio is the rice used to make the classic dish, risotto. It is has a nice, creamy texture. Use it when you want to make rice dishes that absorb the flavors of delicious sauces. Basmati rice is categorized by the region where it's
grown. It is grown in India and Pakistan. It is planted at the base of the Himalayan mountains. Basmati rice is grown in rich soil that is naturally fertilized by the water melting off the mountains. Basmati rice has an excellent aroma when it cooks. Brown rice is very healthy. It contains more fiber and nutrients than other types of rice. It has a nice, nutty flavor. It takes longer to cook than other types of rice, but it's worth it. Also, add more water than cooking with other types of rice. Use about 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water to every cup of brown rice, depending on how fluffy you like it. Jasmine rice is one of my favorite types of rice. It is also known as Siamese rice. It is a long grain rice. It is very fluffy and tender when cooked properly. It can be made as a side dish or used in stir fry dishes. Jasmine rice has a delicious aroma when it cooks. It smells like buttered popcorn to me.
Rice Varieties Varieties of Rice As a matter of fact there are over 40,000 varieties of rice. Out of these only a few are commonly grown and consumed worldwide and I am going to discuss these common ones in this article. Basmati rice Basmati It is long grain rice with a beautiful fragrance. Traditionally it was grown in India, but now famous around the world. Jasmine rice
Jasmine Jasmine is excellent long-grain fragrant white rice. It has a slight jasmine aroma after cooking and are slightly stickier than Basmati. It is grown in Thailand and used throughout Southeast Asia. Arborio rice Arborio Arborio is a short-grain rice that takes its name from the town of Arborio in the Po Valley of Northern Italy where it was originally grown. It is high in starch content and thus has a starchy taste of its own. Glutinous rice
Glutinous Glutinous rice, which is a short grain rice, is of two types: White Glutinous Black Glutinous It has quite a few common names which are: sticky rice, sweet rice, waxy rice, botan rice, biroin chal and pearl rice. They become very sticky upon cooking. It does not have gluten in it, but is called Glutinous because it becomes glue-like sticky after cooking. Brown rice Brown Rice It is not a separate variety of rice, but any rice, short- grain or long-grain, which is not polished or part is called brown rice. They are more nutritious than the white rice and are of two kinds: Fully Unpolished - When the entire layer of bran is not removed. Partially Unpolished - When bran is only partially removed.
A Word about Rice Storage Uncooked rice should be stored in a cool dark place and must be kept tightly covered. Leftover cooked rice can be stored in refrigerator for up to two days. Make sure you have covered them. Leftover cooked rice can be stored for about two months if securely wrapped and placed in refrigerator.

Types of Rice Arborio Rice Basmati Rice: White Basmati Rice: Whole Grain Black Sweet Rice Brown Rice: Long-Grain Brown Rice: Short-Grain Glutinous Rice: Sweet Jasmine Rice Tex-Mati Rice Wehani Rice White Rice: Short-Grain Arborio Rice This short grain rice is imported from Italy. Arborio rice is especially starchy and almost round in shape. Arborio rice is what is commonly used for risotto. Basmati Rice: White White, long-grain basmati grows in Southeast Asia. Basmati is very fragrant. White basmati is commonly used for Thai and Indian curries. Basmati rice can also be used in pilaf recipes.
Basmati Rice: Whole Grain Whole grain basmati is richer in fiber and nutrients than white basmati. However, whole grain basmati does lack the aroma found in white basmati and is not as flavorful. Black Sweet Rice Black sweet rice is in fact black on the outside. The color is due to the bran on the rice. Black sweet rice lightens to a rich purple-black when cooked and is known for its woodsy flavor. Brown Rice: Short-Grain Brown rice is rich in fiber and is usually a bit nutty in flavor. Brown Rice: Long-Rain Long-grain brown rice is not as sweet as short-grain brown rice. Long-grain brown rice is also rich in bran and features a more buttery and nutty flavor. Glutinous Rice: Sweet This particular rice is commonly used for sweets in regions of Asia and has a very sticky texture. Glutinous sweet rice is also used in Japan when making rice cakes known as mochi. Jasmine Rice Like basmati, jasmine rice is also fragrant. Although jasmine rice is fragrant, it is very good at absorbing the various flavors and spices found in the broth.
Tex-Mati The 'Tex' in Tex-Mati comes from the state, Texas in the USA. Tex-Mati is a type of basmati created to be more economical and absorbent of flavors. Tex-Mati is versatile and can be used in a variety of rice dishes. Wehani Rice Wehani rice comes from the state of California in the USA. Like Tex-Mati, Wehani rice is a hybrid of basmati. Wehani however, is in its whole-grain form and contains brain. The bran in Wehani gives it its rich cinnamon, rust color. White Rice: Short-Grain Short-grain, white rice is what is used when creating authentic sushi. Its sticky texture and stark white color blend beautifully with the contrasting colors found in sushi rolls.

Gluten is the latin term for glue. Gluten is a form of protein found primarily in wheat and is also in barley and rye. Gluten is also found in triticale and oats. Now, oats do not usually have gluten. The problem arises with the preparation and manufacturers. Oats are usually prepared in the same facilities as grains with gluten. The gluten inadvertently
becomes packaged with oats. Suggestion: read the labels for true gluten free oats. Gluten Free Grains Amaranth Buckwheat Millet Oats (check the manufacturer for processing with gluten related grains) Polenta Quinoa Rice Sorghum Other Grains Barley Cracked Wheat Rye Species: Amaranthus tricolor
Source: Kurt Stüber, wikimedia commons, cc 3.0 Amaranth Amaranth history takes us back to ancient Mexico and South America. It was a featured crop of the Aztec civilization. Although amaranth is technically not a grain, it is commonly presented as such. Amaranth is very high in protein and is also an excellent source of lysine (amino acid), magnesium, calcium and fiber. How is amaranth used? Amaranth is commonly ground to a flour and is used for baking breads, cakes, cereals and pastas. Buckwheat Buckwheat is very rich in protein and has a wonderful nutty and hearty flavor. Buckwheat can be included in pilafs or ground to a flour for pancakes and other baked goods. It is also used to create soba noodles and crepes. According to the whole Grains Council, buckwheat appeared as a cultivated crop in 400 B.C. in the Balkan region of Europe. Nutrition and Buckwheat: contains significant levels of: zinc copper manganese
potassium soluble fiber Interesting Research Findings for Buckwheat: Decreases blood pressure and reduces oxidative damage in the aorta.Phytotherapy Research, July 2009; 23(7):993–998. Epub January 12, 2009. Promising studies in the reduction of blood glucose levels with the consumption of buckwheat. Journal of Jilin Agricultural University, 2009; 31(1):102-4 Millet Millet is another high protein grain and heart healthy too. Millet works great in tabouli style dishes and some cultures serve millet as a delicious hot breakfast cereal. Millet is also rich in antioxidants and the mineral magnesium. There are four types of common millet around the world: Finger (known as ragi in India and used to make a common flatbread known as roti) Foxtail Pearl Proso (also known as hog or broom corn) Interesting Fact: Millet is a common ingredient in birdseed.
Oats Too humorous to pass up: Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary defined oats as "A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland appears to support the people." The Scotsman's retort to this was, "That's why England has such good horses, and Scotland has such fine men!" Whole Grains Council Oats are the same despite processing: Rolled Oats: Whole oats, which are rolled flat. Steel Cut Oats: Whole oats cut into small chunks. Quick Oats: Rolled oats, which are ground a bit more than regular rolled oats for quicker cooking times. Nutrients in Oats: manganese selenium phosphorous fiber magnesium zinc Cholesterol: Oats are known for lowering cholesterol levels. There are several studies pointing to this heart
healthy fact. The main reason for this wonderful benefit seems to be due to the oat fiber found in oats. Antioxidants: A unique antioxidant identified as avenanthramides have been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and reduce damage to LDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). In addition, oats have been found to be beneficial in reducing arteriosclerosis, childhood asthma, controlled blood sugar and a reduced risk of some cancers. A variety of studies are showing promising results and conclusions. Polenta Polenta is basically a course cornmeal. The name polenta comes from Italian origin and basically is a derivative for the word hulled. Polenta can be prepared as a lightly seasoned mush or as a breading for fried foods. Quinoa The word "quinoa" is pronounced "KEEN-wah" History dates quinoa as far back as 3000BC and appears to be native to the Andes mountains and regions of South America. Quinoa is touted to have the
most protein of all the grains. One quarter cup of quinoa contains about 6 grams of protein. Nutrients in Quinoa: manganese tryptophan (foods that produce melatonin) magnesium phosphorus fiber folate copper Quinoa is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory benefits. Like other grains, quinoa is known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Rice Types of Rice: Long and Short Grain Brown rice is the healthiest variety of rice as it contains the bran. Brown rice studies have concluded the following benefits: reduce diabetic risk reduce cholesterol levels supports healthy weight
Rice is a wonderful staple and is quite versatile. Rice also has many benefits, remember, the darker the healthier: low in sodium cholesterol free energy source rich in nutrients sorghum Source: Larry Rana, USDA, wikimedia commons, public domain Sorghum Origin: Most sites identify the origin of sorghum as Africa and Egypt. Sorghum is a common ingredient in today's popular gluten-free products due to it being a great substitute for wheat flour. Noteworthy fact: Sorghum can contain levels of hydrogen cyanide. This research can be located as follows. Cyanide (prussic acid) and nitrate in sorghum crops - managing the risks. Primary industries and fisheries. Queensland Government.http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_20318.htm. 21 April 2011.
OTHER GRAINS Contain Gluten: Barley Cracked Wheat Barley Hulled Barley: The husk is removed and the bran is not. This type of barley is commonly used in soups. Pearled Barley: Both the husk and the bran are removed. Pearled barley can be boiled and is frequently served in grain and vegetable salads. Barley is used for malting and is used for creating both beer and whisky products. Barley and Nutrition Barley contains eight essential amino acids and is a great source of fiber. It is also especially high in magnesium, vitamin B6, phosphorus and zinc. Barley even has the minerals potassium and calcium and in addition to the B6 has a variety of other complex B vitamins. Cracked Wheat Cracked is basically made from whole raw wheat kernels which are cut (or crushed) into smaller pieces. Cracked
wheat is highly nutritious as it contains the whole kernel. Cracked wheat is usually found in breads and some cereal or protein bars. Cracked wheat is rich in protein, fiber and iron. Cracked wheat is also a great source of magnesium, zinc, copper, niacin and a variety of B vitamins.
Types Of Rice Rice is the most important and the consumed cereal grain of the world. It is the second most cultivated grain after maize in the world and more than half of the world’s population consumes this cereal. Basically rice is a seed of a monocot plant known as Oryza sativa. It grows best in damp environment and its cultivation requires an ample supply of water therefore it is grown along the riversides. Rice is rich in carbohydrates and is considered as one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Today many different types of rice are cultivated in different parts of the world. Following are some popular varieties of rice amongst the masses: Basmati Different Types Of Apples Types Of Apples From the time when they were originated, almost
thousands of years ago in Kazakhstan, to the present day apples have traveled a long way.

Today they are most commonly cultivated in south Asian countries Pakistan and India which produce are the greatest basmati rice producers of the world. Basmati rice is non glutinous, aromatic long grain rice perfect for cooking all sorts of dishes. These are easily boiled and produce a special nutty aroma on boiling due to which they are named basmati- a Hindi word meaning ‘queen of scents’.

This rice is rich in iron, foliate, niacin and thiamine. They are mostly used boiled as a side dish along a curry in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. They need to be soaked overnight before boiling and also require a lot of water for boiling. Jasmine Rice
Jasmine Rice This variety of rice is commonly cultivated in Thailand. They are long grain rice and can also be used as replacement for basmati rice in many dishes. When cooked they swell more length wise and give a strong aroma of jasmine on boiling. Although they remain firm when cooked, they get slightly sticky unlike the basmati which never get sticky on boiling. The best thing about jasmine rice is that they are easily boiled and can be used in variety of dishes. They too can be eaten plainly boiled as a side dish along any curry. They compliment Thai and Vietnamese curries perfectly and are therefore most commonly used in Thai and Vietnamese cuisines.
Della Rice This special variety of rice was cultivated exclusively in America to mimic the Basmati rice. Before boiling they have long kernels but as they are cooked they swell equally length wise and width wise unlike the basmati that remain long and slender even after cooking. The Della rice has a unique taste and is easily boiled. Although they are used as a replacement for basmati in some types of pilaus, they are best suited for making casseroles and puddings. They can be eaten boiled or steamed; in fact when eaten plain boiled they taste even better than the basmati. Arborio rice grains Different Types Of Flowers Types Of Flowers Hibiscus Hibiscus is the Chinese rose and has over twenty shades. Blooms almost all year round. Any garden seems dull without this excellent bush that will take root even when a branch is planted in the soil.
Black Rice Arborio Rice This variety of rice is completely different form the above mentioned varieties. The Arborio rice is very small grained and polished rice that is used for making risottos- a special Italian dish. They have a characteristic dot at the centre of each grain which sets them apart from other small grained rice. When cooked they give a creamy consistency. They have a specific aroma and are famous for their ability to absorb any kind of flavor excellently as they themselves do not have a specific flavor. Other than risottos these rice are also used in the making of some stews and soups. Black Rice This special variety of medium grained rice grows in Indonesia and Philippines. They have a nutty flavor and get very sticky when boiled. Although they may be eaten boiled in many of the Asian cuisines they are best suited for making rice puddings and cakes.
Different Types Of Soil Types Of Soil A thin layer of little grains that covers the surface of earth is called soil. Soil is formed from a lot of different things including decaying plant, rock particles and animal matter.

    Ads by Google Thereare literally tens of thousands of different varieties of rice in the world. However, rice can actually be broken down into just three different types if you want to keep things simple. There is long-grain, medium-grain and short-grain rice. As the classifications suggest, the three different types of rice grains are categorized based upon their length as compared to their width. A skinny, long type of rice grain would be a long-grain whereas a round-ish grain that’s about as wide as it is long would be a short-grain. Long vs. Medium vs. Short Grain Rice Let’s get to know these three different rice classifications a little bit better: Long-Grain Rice Long-grain rice is easy to identify because it is the narrowest or skinniest of the different types of rice that you might come across. If a piece of rice is at least four times in length what it is in width then it is considered to
  • 3.
    be a longgrain. Long-grain rice is usually the fluffiest type of rice. For that reason it is considered the best type of rice to serve with sauces; it holds the sauce well but it also tastes good plain. A popular example of long-grain rice isBasmati. Short-Grain Rice Whereas long-grain rice is skinny and tall, short-grain rice is short and fat. It often looks round in shape because the width is so close in size to the length with this grain. Short-grain rice generally has a higher level of starch content than the other grains do making it a type of rice that tends to be sticky. For that reason it’s especially popular for rice pudding although it can be eaten alone or in other rice dishes as well. A popular example of short-grain rice is Arborio. Medium-Grain Rice Once you get a good idea of what constitutes long-grain rice and what would be considered short-grain rice, you’ll also be able to identify medium-grain rice. It’s the type of rice that falls somewhere in between the two other grains. For example, a rice grain that is about three times as long as it is wide would be a medium-grain rice. Medium-grain rice is terrific in rice-based dishes such as paella and risotto. Grains of Rice: The Exact Science As an individual in your own kitchen, you probably aren’t going to need to measure grains of rice exactly to figure
  • 4.
    out which onesare long, medium and short. First of all, many of the packages of rice that you buy or recipes that you work off of will tell you which type of rice the one you need is. And secondly, you aren’t likely to be that picky. But just in case you are wondering, there is an exact science to the classification of rice grains. According to the LSUAg Center website, rice grain classification is based on an exact measurement set forth in the USDA Federal Grain Inspection Service Grain Inspection Handbook. The measuring process requires laying fifteen grains ofrice side by side and then end to end to measure the ratio of length to width.The exact measurements that make up each grain classification vary depending on whether the rice is brown or white. The Long and Short Of It Although there’s an exact science to the measurement of rice grains, as a novice cook you really only need to know the basics. A long skinny type of rice grain will be less sticky and a bit firmer than a short, fat rice grain.

It has been harvested for thousands of years. Rice is a staple in many cultures. It is a lifesaver for many impoverished countries. Most types of rice need lots of water to grow properly. However, wild rice doesn't need much water. Rice is a very quick growing grain. Four crops can be planted in a year. When many people think of rice, they have images of the plain white rice that you pour sugar on that was served in many school cafeterias years ago. That is the only rice I knew until I became an adult. After I joined the navy and met people from all over the United States and the world, I learned about delicious rice. There are literally tens of thousands of different varieties of rice available. And every rice grain is not created equally.

    Oats Too humorous topass up: Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary defined oats as "A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland appears to support the people." The Scotsman's retort to this was, "That's why England has such good horses, and Scotland has such fine men!" Whole Grains Council Oats are the same despite processing: Rolled Oats: Whole oats, which are rolled flat. Steel Cut Oats: Whole oats cut into small chunks.
