Though short-grain and long-grain brown rice share many similarities, they differ slightly in flavor, texture, and preparation. It’s important not to confuse long-grain brown rice with jasmine or basmati brown rice; while these varieties have long kernels, they are distinct from standard long-grain brown rice.

Short-grain brown rice has a shorter, wider kernel with rounded edges, while long-grain brown rice has a longer, slimmer kernel with pointed edges. Medium-grain rice is also available and sits between the two in size and shape.

• Nutritional Benefits: Brown rice is a whole grain that is naturally gluten-free, high in fiber, and relatively low in calories (216 calories per cup). It’s a rich source of magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, thiamine, niacin, and vitamin B6. It’s also an excellent source of manganese, providing 88% of your daily requirement in just one cooked cup.

• Texture and Cooking Time: Short-grain brown rice tends to be softer and stickier than long-grain varieties, making it ideal for certain dishes. Due to its smaller size, it requires slightly less cooking time. To avoid overly sticky rice, use about 2 ½ cups of water per cup of rice, or reduce water by 10% if accustomed to cooking long-grain rice.
