Calrose Rice

• Perfect for sushi rice: Calrose rice provides the ideal slightly sticky texture needed to hold sushi rolls and nigiri together beautifully; it's crucial for authentic sushi preparations.
• Excellent for rice bowls: Its ability to cling makes it ideal for rice bowls, preventing grains from scattering and ensuring a satisfying spoonful with every bite.
• Suitable for creamy rice puddings: The starch content in calrose rice contributes to a wonderfully creamy texture when used in rice puddings, offering a comforting and delicious dessert.
• Great for everyday side dishes: Calrose rice cooks up fluffy and tender, making it a simple yet satisfying side dish to accompany various meals, especially in Asian cuisines.
• Ideal for stir-fries where a sticky rice is desired: While long grain rice is traditionally used, calrose rice can be added to stir-fries where a stickier texture is preferred, creating a different mouthfeel.
• Used in Arancini: Calrose rice is perfect for making arancini, the starchy texture allows the rice to bind together when cooled.

• Good source of carbohydrates for energy.

Calrose rice should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage helps maintain its quality and prevents infestation. Under these conditions, it can last for up to two years. Once cooked, rice should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within a few days to prevent bacterial growth.
