ABOUT RICE
Rice is a valuable source of low fat, complex carbohydrates and is abundant in thiamin, niacin and iron.
It is an essential ingredient for a healthy diet. There are many different varieties of rice available in
the market. Your SOLIS Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. The following are the most
commonly available varieties of rice and their characteristics:
Long Grain Rice
Typically this rice is not starchy and has loose, individual grains after cooking. “Carolina” is firm, and
“Jasmine” is the firmest of the long grain variety and is flavorful and aromatic.
Short Grain Rice
Short grain is characteristically soft, sticky and chewy. This is the rice used to make sushi.
“California Rice” is soft; “Sweet Rice”, often called “pearl” rice for its round shape, is extra sticky and is
excellent for making rice pudding.
Brown Rice
Brown rice is often considered the most healthy variety. It has bran layers on the rice grains and contains
more B-complex vitamins, iron, calcium, and fiber than polished (white) rice. The most popular brown
rice is long grain and has a chewy texture.
Wild Rice
Wild Rice comes in many delicious varieties and mixes. Often it is mixed with long grain rice for its firmer
texture and rich brown to black color. Wild rice makes wonderful stuffing for poultry when cooked with
both and mixed with your favorite dried fruits.
