Short grain rice has a squat, chubby shape that you can see. Compared to, say, long grain basmati rice or wild rice, the grains are notably shorter. The grains appear virtually circular because each one is slightly longer than it is wide.
The most typical forms of short-grain rice you’ll find at the grocery store are sushi rice (Japanese rice) and American short grain brown rice. These grains are ideal for eating with chopsticks since they tend to clump together when cooked due to their greater carbohydrate content. Short grain rice is great for sushi and rice pudding because of its sticky feel. Confusion can result when medium grain rice types like Arborio are occasionally classified as short grain variations.
Short grain rice types provide the same amount of nutrition as long grain rice varieties, but with a noticeable difference in the starch content of the grains. Short grain rice has a higher starch content than long grain rice, which contributes to its characteristic stickiness and makes it ideal for dishes like risotto, sushi, and rice pudding.
Uncooked rice can be kept for a long time in an airtight container in a cool, dry location, much like other grains. However, short grain rice should not be stored for too long as it can become stale and lose its quality. It’s recommended to consume short grain rice within 6 months to a year after purchase.
