White medium-grain rice

It has grains that are longer and wider than short-grain rice, but shorter than long-grain rice.

This type of rice tends to be stickier, making it ideal for dishes that require a moist and soft texture.

It is versatile and easily adapts to various dishes that require a softer, stickier texture, making it an excellent choice for a variety of culinary preparations.

Due to its sticky texture, it is often used for:

• Sushi rice: its ability to bond and hold shape makes it a perfect choice for preparing sushi rice, where stickiness is key for shaping sushi rolls.
• Desserts: ideal for making rice pudding and other sweet dishes, as it absorbs milk and sugar well, creating a rich, creamy texture.
• Risottos and pilafs: although not typical for risottos, it can be used to prepare risottos and pilafs, as it will absorb all the flavors of the broth, creating a rich, moist texture.
• Asian dishes: such as fried rice, where the stickiness of the rice contributes to creating a thick, cohesive structure.
