What it is

Arborio rice is a short-grain Italian rice variety. It is named after the town of Arborio in the Po Valley, where it is grown. The grains are plump and absorb liquid well, releasing starch to create a creamy texture when cooked.

Why it's used

Arborio rice is prized for its ability to absorb flavors and create a creamy consistency, making it ideal for dishes like risotto. It is also used in rice puddings and other rice-based desserts. Manufacturers use it for its texture and ability to hold sauces.

Health notes

Arborio rice is a common carbohydrate source. The FDA considers rice to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated rice and its components. Like other grains, it provides energy and nutrients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Arborio rice is a grain and is not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
