What are the different types of rice and for what are they best suited?
There are two main types of rice: long-grained rice called Japonika and short-grained rice called Indica. Indian, Persian and basmati rice are considered long-grained rice while round rice and sushi rice are considered short-grained. Each type of rice has its own suitable foods and sometimes these are not interchangeable. For example: you cannot make sushi with Indian rice or basmati rice, because it will not stick together well.
