Medium Grain White Rice

Medium Grain White Rice

EverydayDryEnriched

Medium grain white rice is a polished rice variety characterized by its shorter, plumper kernels that become tender and slightly sticky when cooked. This enriched version has been fortified with iron and B vitamins to replace nutrients lost during milling, which removes the bran and germ. Its balanced starch content makes it ideal for dishes requiring cohesive textures like risotto, sushi, or rice puddings, while providing a quick-digesting carbohydrate source for immediate energy needs.
