Long-grain rice

Long-grain rice is a popular variety of rice characterized by slender, elongated grains that are typically three times longer than they are wide. When cooked, the grains remain separate and fluffy, making it an ideal side dish for meat dishes, sauces, stews, or salads. The best-known varieties include basmati and jasmine rice. It is usually cooked in twice the amount of water for approximately 15-20 minutes. Long-grain rice is easy to digest, rich in carbohydrates, and serves as a great source of energy. It is one of the most widely used staple ingredients in kitchens around the world.
