Shaban Medium Grain Rice 3.5 Kg

As its name implies, medium grain rice falls between long grain and short grain rice, size wise. The grains are about two to three times longer than they are wide (compared to long grain’s four to five times). When cooked, medium grain rice tends to be moist, tender, and slightly chewy, and instead of a fluffy, separate texture, the grains usually stick together a bit because they release more starch than long grain rices. The most common types of medium grain rice include Arborio, Valencia, carnaroli, and bomba white rice varieties that are great in risotto, paella, or soups where a little thickness from the starch is welcome. Black rice and Calrose rice are also medium grain rice varieties. And, although not as common as long grain brown rice.
