Pearl Rice

Buying Tips

Buy pearl rice in the packaged-grains section of grocery, health food, and specialty stores. Pearl rice is sold in bulk at health food stores. When purchasing pearl rice in bulk, look for intact kernels that aren’t broken, scratched, or damaged.

Varieties

Pearl rice is available in white and brown (unprocessed) forms. White rice sets off food flavors more distinctly, while brown rice has a higher fiber content and takes longer to cook.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Stir the rice during its cooking time, which takes about 20 minutes. Use it as a base for sushi, or in rice puddings.

Storing

Store rice in a cool, dry area in a sealed glass or plastic container, away from the open air and moisture.
