Rating of the best rice producers for 2022

For four thousand years, mankind has been eating grains of rice. Who does not remember the taste of milk rice porridge from childhood? A cereal originally from Asia has enchanted the whole world with its culinary charm.

There are 20 varieties of rice, more than 150 varieties, but the dishes that are prepared from it are many times more.

Sushi and rolls, which have recently become popular, as representatives of national cuisine, have replenished the long lists of dishes where rice is present.

Grain is distinguished not only by color - white, brown, black, yellow, purple, red. Rice is varied in shape and length.

How to choose the right rice

Ultimately, the buyer starts from the menu, that is, from the dish that he wants to cook. Dietary or for pilaf, for sushi or porridge - the choice is determined by the ultimate goal.

Popular varieties include:

1. Devzira;
2. Jasmine;
3. Basmati;
4. Krasnodar;
5. Indica.

Grain length

An all-purpose variety, guaranteed not to stick together into lumps and is sure to be crumbly.

The medium-grain variety requires more water to absorb, it sticks together more, but this rice differs in softness and tenderness for the better. It can be used to make soup, risotto, pilaf.

The round-grain variety is enriched with starch, as a result of which, at the end of cooking, it is mashed. Ideal choice for porridge, pie, casseroles.

grinding

Polished cereal is a grain that has been peeled from the shell. Unpolished cereals take longer to cook, but also contain more nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

The presence of a matte core means poor-quality grinding.

By processing method

It happens unprocessed and steamed.

It is believed that steamed rice cooks faster and absorbs less moisture, but in reality the differences are small. Steamed grains are more crumbly and absorb the aromas of additional ingredients of the dish well.

Price

Real Indian Basmati rice in a jar, polished, weighing 1 kg can cost up to 500 rubles.

"Import-substituted" Basmati Mistral costs 160 rubles per half kilogram.

The cost of Krasnodar round-grain white rice is 120 rubles per kg.

Do not overpay for cereals in the daily menu. For fragrant pilaf or gourmet sushi, you should familiarize yourself with the selection criteria. To guarantee quality, confirmed by the GOST requirement, you should opt for varieties whose packages are marked "Extra", "Premium".

Errors when choosing

A good cook knows that Uzbek rice of such varieties as devzira, chungara is used for a good, traditional pilaf. Asian heavy grains of dark flowers absorb a lot of moisture, fat, resulting in a crumbly and fragrant dish.

Russians are accustomed to Krasnodar round-grain rice, which goes into cereals, soups, and side dishes.

Garbage, broken and broken grains should not be present in the composition of cereals. Darkened in places and dried grains indicate the poor quality of the product.
