What it is
Long grain rice is a type of rice that, when cooked, has grains that are separate and fluffy. It is a staple food grown in many parts of the world, including the southern United States. The rice is typically milled to remove the hull, bran, and germ, resulting in white rice.
Why it's used
Long grain rice is used as a base or side dish in a wide variety of meals. Its neutral flavor and fluffy texture make it versatile for absorbing sauces and seasonings. It is commonly found in dishes like pilafs, casseroles, stir-fries, and as a simple side to main courses.
Health notes
Long grain rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. It is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy. While rice can be a source of arsenic, particularly if grown in contaminated soil, the FDA has established action levels for infant rice cereal to limit exposure. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rice and its components, but no specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of long grain rice.
Allergen info
Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
