Unique Variety of Rice for an Unforgettable and Exciting Meal
Unique Variety of Rice for an Unforgettable and Exciting Meal
Rice is the most important staple food in the world and is the grain with the second highest worldwide production,
after corn.
Black Rice
Black Rice is a grain that is high in fiber and has a deep, nutty taste. It is high in nutritional value and is rich in
iron. It is not glutinous unlike other Black Rice from Asia. Black forbidden rice is a deep black color and turns deep
purple when cooked.
This unique variety has a relatively high mineral content (including iron) and, like most rice, supplies several
important amino acids.
Golden Rice
Golden Rice is a brightly colored variety of rice produced through genetic engineering to biosynthesize
beta-carotene, a precursor of pro-vitamin A in the edible parts of rice.
Wild Rice
Wild Rice is a variety that grows in shallow water in small lakes and slow-flowing streams. Oftentimes, only the
flowering head of Wild Rice rises above the water.
Brown Rice
Brown Rice is a variety that has a mild nutty flavor. This kind of rice is now more expensive than common White
Rice and is a staple for health conscious eaters who believe food should be consumed in its most natural state.
Bhutanese Red Rice
Bhutanese Red Rice is from the little Kingdom of Bhutan and is the staple rice of the Bhutanese people. It is a red
japonica and is semi-milled – some of the reddish bran is left on the rice. It is pale pink, soft and slightly sticky
when cooked.
Wehani Rice
Wehani Rice is an aromatic variety of brown rice developed in the late 20th century. It was developed from
Basmati Rice seeds from India. Its grains are reddish-brown in color and slightly resemble Wild Rice. The rice
produces an aroma similar to that of hot buttered peanuts and is slightly chewy when cooked.
Camargue Red Rice
Camargue Red Rice is a variety from France. It is a short-grained and unmilled variety of rice and is therefore
quite sticky. It is a brownish-red color.
Sona Masuri
Sona Masuri is lightweight and aromatic rice from India. It is considered to be of premium quality and is considered
to be a healthy dish as it contains little starch and is easily digestible. It is ideal for preparing dishes like sweet
pongal, biryani, and fried rice.
Arborio Rice
Arborio Rice from Italy that when cooked has rounded grains that are firm, creamy, and chewy, due to the high
starch content of this rice variety, thus they have a starchy taste of their own, yet blend well with other flavors. It is
used to make risotto, a popular Italian dish.
Japanese Rice
Japanese Rice or Japonica is characterized by its unique stickiness and texture. Japonica should not be confused
with Jasponica rice – a cross between the long-grained and fragrant Thai Jasmine rice and the sticky, soft
Japanese Rice.
Jasmine Rice
Jasmine Rice of Thailand seems just an ordinary variety of rice. It is also sometimes known as Thai Fragrant Rice.
It is a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty aroma and a subtle pandan-like leaves flavor. The grains will cling
when cooked, though it is less sticky than other rice.
Glutinous Rice
Glutinous Rice is Asian rice that is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous in the sense of being
glue-like or sticky. It is also called with a variety of names like Sticky Rice, Sweet Rice, Waxy Rice, Botan Rice,
Biroin Chal, Mochi Rice and Pearl Rice.
Basmati Rice
Basmati Rice of India and Pakistan is remarkable for its fragrance and delicate, nuanced flavor. Basmati is
Sanskrit which means “the fragrant one” and may also mean “the soft rice”. The grains of this variety are longer
than most other types of rice. Cooked grains of Basmati rice are characteristically free flowing rather than sticky,
as with most long-grain rice. Cooked basmati rice can be uniquely identified by its fragrance. Basmati rice is
available in two varieties – white and brown.

Cooking: -rice is a Great Way to Add Bulk to a Meal!
Cooking: -rice is a Great Way to Add Bulk to a Meal!
Stocking up on often used pantry items when they are on sale is the perfect way to not only save money on item you know will not go to waste but also to ensure that you will have enough ingredients on hand at all times to throw a meal together in a matter of minutes. Here is a list of my top ten pantry items that will help you add that all-day cooked flavor to quick cooking meals.
1. Pasta: Pasta is so versatile that you could make dinner with it every night for a month and never have the same meal twice. Dried pasta is the perfect pantry staple to stock up on every time it goes on sale at your grocery store. Keep different size and shaped noodles on hand to make meals more interesting. Dried pasta can be added to soups, stews or casseroles, it can be used as a bed for your favorite stir-fry, for more details visit to www.cooking-groundbeef.com to add some bulk to your meal or it can be the star of the show – a quick go-to meal by simply adding your favorite jarred sauce.
2. Spaghetti Sauce: Of course you can use a jar of spaghetti sauce to pour over spaghetti for a quick meal any night of the week, but think outside the box a little when it comes to this pantry staple. You would be surprised how many different ways spaghetti sauce can be used. The great thing about spaghetti sauce is that all of the cooking has been done and that all-day flavor is already sealed in. There are so many varieties on the store shelves that you can get a sauce with whatever flavor combination you prefer, for more details visit to www.apples-recipes.com or you can get a simple marinara sauce and spice it up your own way by adding fresh herbs and vegetables to suit your pallette and your menu.
3. Prepared Broths: Boxes or cans of prepared beef, chicken and vegetable broth are a must have pantry staple. When it comes to quick cooking you should not pass up any opportunity to add flavor. You can do this by substituting broth in place of water to add extra flavor to any recipe. You can even cook your rice in broth instead of water. If you cook often the larger boxes of broth can be stored in the refrigerator after opening so you can use as much or as little as you need and they can sometimes be a better bargain than the cans. If you do wind up with leftover broth in an opened container and are afraid that you will not be able to use it quickly, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze it. You can pop out as many cubes as you need and melt them right into your recipe. You can even get fancy by adding some dried herbs to your broth cubes before freezing for extra flavor.
4. Quick Cooking Rice: Rice is a great way to add bulk to a meal. Serving a stir fry of meat and vegetables over rice makes a delicious and satisfying meal. Rice is also a great way to add some whole grains to your diet by using brown rice or wild rice instead of white rice. Experiment with different flavors and find one that your family enjoys. Rice also makes a great side dish either by itself, with vegetables mixed in or simply topped with your favorite spaghetti sauce.
5. Condensed Soups: Condensed soups are a fabulous way to add both moisture and flavor to quick cooking meals. You will find recipe ideas right on the soup can labels and there have been entire cookbooks written around the theme of cooking with condensed soups. Cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cream of celery and condensed cheese soup are probably the most popular. Take a close look at the soup selection the next time you are in the grocery store. Read the recipes on the labels and stock up on any that you can incorporate into your weekly menu planning. If nothing else, you can make soup for lunch or dinner on a cold rainy day. Don’t forget the chicken noodle in case somebody doesn’t feel well.
