LONG GRAIN RICE

Long grain rice is a type of rice that has a longer, thinner shape compared to other types of rice, in fact it is typically 4 to 5 times longer than it is wide. Long grain rice is usually light and fluffy when cooked, and the grains remain separate. Long grain rice is also typically drier than other types of rice, which makes it ideal for dishes that require a drier texture such as pilaus, salads, and stir-fries

Long grain rice is typically grown in the United States, India, Pakistan, and Thailand.

Basmati rice is a type of long grain rice that is especially popular in Indian cuisine. Jasmine rice is another type of long grain rice that is popular in Southeast Asian cuisine.
