| Basmati (American)
|
Nimble Food's Basmati variety has
an aromatic smell with a buttery flavor. When cooked,
Basmati produces clean separate grains of tasty rice.
Freshly milled, Basmati rice has an unbeatable flavor
and texture! Whether you buy one bag or a truckload,
you'll taste the difference in Nimble's Basmati Rice. |

| Basmati (Indian) |
This aromatic, long-grain rice is grown in the foothills
of the Himalayas and is especially popular in India. The
cooked grains are dry and fluffy, so they make a nice
bed for curries and sauces. Basmati is available as either
white or brown rice. Brown basmati has more fiber and
a stronger flavor, but it takes twice as long to cook.
Nimble's basmati rice is aged and, so, is better in quality.

| Bhutanese Red Rice |
This red short-grain rice is a staple food in rural
areas of Bhutan, a small kingdom nestled high in the Himalayas.
It has a strong, nutty flavor and is best served with
other assertive ingredients. It cooks much faster than
brown rice. |
|
| Long Grain Rice |
Long-grain rice has slender grains that stay separate
and fluffy after cooking, so this is the best choice
if you want to serve rice as a side dish, or as a bed
for sauces. American long-grain
rice has a somewhat bland flavor, and is what
cookbooks usually have in mind when they call for long-grain
rice.
Long grain rice is the most economical and versatile
rice variety. Easy to prepare, cooked grains are separate,
light and fluffy. Delicious and healthy, there is no
fat, cholesterol or sodium content.

| Medium Grain Rice |
Medium-grain rice is shorter and stickier than long-grain
rice. It's great for making paella and risotto.
|
|
| White Rice |
Most varieties of rice are processed into white rice
at the mill, where the grains are scoured to remove
the husk, bran, and part of the germ. This processing
strips some of the nutrients, but makes the rice tender
and fast-cooking. Nimble Food sells enriched
white rice, which restores most of the nutrients.
It is well-sealed, so white rice can be stored almost
indefinitely in a cool, dry place.

| Instant Rice |
Nimble Food's instant
white rice that's been precooked and dehydrated so that
it cooks quickly. It's relatively expensive, though,
but you don't sacrifice either flavor or texture. White
instant rice cooks in about five minutes, brown in about
ten.

| Parboiled Rice |
Nimble Food's parboiled
rice is a good compromise between nutritious brown rice
and tender, fast-cooking white rice. Parboiled/Converted
rice is steamed before it's husked: a process that causes
the grains to absorb many of the nutrients from the
husk. When cooked, the grains are more nutritious, firmer,
and less clingy than white rice grains. |

Arborio
Italian-style
White Rice |
Nimble Food's
Arborio rice is short, pearly white rice originally
developed in Italy that has a higher than normal amount
of soluble starch. When a creamy sauce is needed in
a recipe, such as risotto or soup, Arborio is the perfect
rice choice. This variety of rice is easy to prepare
and takes about 18 minutes to cook. |

Jasmine
Aromatic
White Rice |
Nimble Food's
Nimble Food's Jasmine Aromatic White Rice offers the
enticing nutty aroma of pure Jasmine. To keep the aroma,
the Jasmine variety is custom-packaged with a plastic
liner. Most popular in Asian recipes, the taste enhances
traditional Oriental spices. The long grains cook to
a soft, slightly clingy texture.
