Long Grain Rice

Long grain rice has been a staple in our family’s pantry for a long, long time! It’s easy to see why. This versatile variety of rice is low in fat and rich in iron. The cooked grains are light, dry, and separate easily, making it an excellent side dish when paired with other elements in a meal. Try long grain white rice in stews, pilafs, stir-fries, casseroles, soups, and more. Of course, it can also be served alone - in fact, that’s how we eat it at home the most!

How to Cook Long Grain Rice

Soak and rinse the long grain rice prior to cooking. In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of rice, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit with the lid on for an additional two minutes. Serve immediately.
