What it is

Arborio rice is a short-grain Italian rice variety. It is known for its high starch content, which gives it a creamy texture when cooked. Arborio rice is typically cooked in broth until it reaches a tender but firm consistency, absorbing the liquid and releasing its starches.

Arborio rice is primarily used to make risotto, a classic Italian rice dish. Its starchy nature makes it ideal for absorbing flavors and creating a rich, creamy texture without the need for added cream. It is commonly found in prepared meals, side dishes, and frozen entrees.
