With a place on the table from breakfast through dessert, it's hard to think of a food more universal than rice. Many recipes call for a specific type of rice, classified by the size of the grain, ranging from small and medium to long-grain rice. But what's the difference between the three? Hi Trading; Malta food importers discuss the difference in their grain size as well as texture.
This squat, plump rice is only a tiny bit longer than it is wide and cooks up soft and tender. It is known for sticking and clumping, which is why it is often the go-to rice when making sushi and pudding.
This type of rice is ideal for risottos and paella as it produces moist, tender, slightly chewy grains that stick to each other when cooked.
As its name implies, long-grain rice is long and thin – in fact, it is four to five times as long as it is wide. This type of rice, which includes Basmati rice, features distinct firm grains that stay separate and fluffy after cooking. Kitchen King’s basmati rice is a product of India and is widely used to prepare various Indian and foreign dishes. It has a reputation for being a great-tasting, fluffy rice, grown in a perfect harmony of climate, fertile soil and pure spring water.
Therefore, the reason most recipes require a specific grain size is because of the final texture of the rice once it's cooked. The difference, however, is not just in the size of the grain but also in the final texture, so the rice used in any given recipe really does make a difference to the end result.
