Urban Meadow Long Grain Rice

Discover the versatility and superior quality of Urban Meadow Long Grain Rice, a pantry essential that delivers consistent, fluffy results for countless dishes across global cuisines. This long grain rice variety is prized for its slender, elongated grains that remain separate and light when cooked properly. Long grain rice is a staple ingredient in American Southern cooking, Mexican and Latin American cuisine, Indian dishes, and countless international recipes. Its neutral flavor profile makes it an ideal canvas for absorbing the flavors of spices, broths, and sauces while maintaining its distinct texture. Unlike short grain varieties, long grain rice produces individual grains that don't stick together, making it perfect for pilafs, fried rice, and side dishes where grain separation is desired. For best cooking results, rinse the rice until water runs clear to remove excess starch, then use a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio. Bring water to a boil, add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender. Let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This versatile grain works beautifully in dishes like Spanish paella, Indian biryani, jambalaya, stuffed peppers, rice bowls, and as a simple side dish seasoned with herbs and butter. Urban Meadow Long Grain Rice stores well in a cool, dry place and provides an excellent foundation for both weeknight dinners and special occasion meals, making it an indispensable addition to any well-stocked kitchen.
