Did you know that there are over 40,000 varieties of rice? Rice in all its forms is a staple - but different types of rice triumph over others depending on the dish. Here are some guidelines:
1. -Basmati rice: a long grain indian rice, slightly nutty and aromatic, perfect in biryani and pilaf,
- Jasmine rice: long grain thai rice, perfect for fried rice and curries,
2. -Wild rice: actually seeds! goes well in fish dishes,
-Black rice: earthy and nutty, has antioxidants (like blueberries!) perfect for puddings and baked goods,
-Brown rice: nutrient rich, lots of fibre, can be used wherever white rice is used,
3. - Arborio: a short grain italian white rice, perfect for risottos!
- Sticky rice: boil or steam it, sweeter and used in desserts,
- Bomba rice: short grain spanish rice, perfect for paella
