Here are some of the main types of rice you can find at Ingles Markets that are good to keep on hand in your pantry:

• Long Grain – (examples: Jasmine and Basmati) light and fluffy, It’s good for pilaf, stir fry, soups, jambalaya and gumbo

• Medium Grain – (example: Arborio) has a creamier consistency so use it for sushi rice, in Asian dishes, risotto and rice pudding

• Short Grain – has a chewier consistency, use it for creamier dishes and it’s also good to use for Asian dishes
