Valencia rice
Valencia rice commonly denotes Spanish regional short- or medium-grain rice, whose rounded grains absorb liquid while tending to hold their shape when cooked.
About Valencia rice
Valencia rice commonly refers to rice grown or marketed in Spain’s Valencia region, often used as a short- or medium-grain rice for regional cooking. Grains are typically rounded and opaque white when milled, but cultivar and milling details vary. The name can describe origin or a market category rather than one uniform botanical variety.
It is sold milled and may also be available as brown rice when the bran is retained. Its grains absorb liquid and tend to become tender while holding their shape when cooked, though results depend on variety and method. Rice labelled Valencia should not automatically be treated as a single cultivar or as a prepared dish.
