Rice, long-grain

Both white and brown rice varieties are available in long-grain.  Long grain rice kernels are four to five times longer than they are wide.  These rice grains tend to be dryer when cooked then shorter grain rice which makes them separate, rather than stick together.  One well-know type of long grain rice is Basmati, used extensively in Indian cooking.

Short grain rice (more sticky) Wild rice (chewy texture, not really rice)

1 cup long grain brown rice = 3 to 4 cups cooked
1 pound = 2 1/2 cups uncooked or 8 cups cooked
