About White rice

White rice is rice grain milled to remove the bran and germ, leaving a pale kernel. The cooked grains can be soft, separate or sticky depending on variety and preparation, and the flavour is generally mild.

It is sold in short-, medium- and long-grain forms, as well as parboiled and other processed styles. These forms have different cooking behaviour; the term “white rice” alone does not identify grain length, cultivar or whether it has been parboiled.

Dry rice and cooked rice differ greatly in water content, so compare the same form. Milling, grain type and parboiling also distinguish products sold as white rice.
