Short Grain Brown Rice is a small almost round grain of Rice
that contains a higher starch content than long or medium grain
rice's. Thus the short grain brown rice tends to be moist causing
the grains to stick together. Also known as Pearled Rice or
Glutinous Rice (does not contain gluten). This type of rice is easy
to handle with chopsticks thus preferred in the Orient. This rice
cooks up like the Italian Arborio rice. They are similar in shape
and texture. The Brown Short Grain still has the high fiber Bran
coating giving it a nuttier flavour.
Suggested Use:
Use
Short Grain Brown Rice in creamy rice dishes and stuffing's. Use as
a substitute for Arborio or Mochi Rice. Use to make confections,
crackers, rice balls, rice cakes and rice molds. Its starchy
consistency makes it useful for rice puddings.
