Rice Is Available In Many Forms

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent ‘ Milled white — short, medium, long, converted, precooked, brown fortified, enriched and herb flavored. Take your pick of the packages because modern rice is available in many forms. Milled white rice, the type usually referred to in recipes, is sold in three sizes. Short grain generally is the cheapest. Grains stick together when cooked. Medium grain does not cling together as much as short grain rice. Use both of these in puddings or croquettes where molded rice is desired. Long rice grains remain separated and fluffy when properly cooked; they are ideal for curries and kabobs. They are slightly more expensive due to the long growing periods and greater milling costs. When rice is labeled converted, that means grains are parboiled, steamed and dried. Properly cooked converted or parboiled rice stays fluffy, separate and plump. Precooked rice has been partially cooked and dried. This form is a consumer convenience. It costs more due to handling, but saves time and the grains do stay separate. Brown rice results after the first milling process. It has a nutty flavor because only the outer hulls are removed. That means this form retains more minerals and vitamins than does regular rice. However it requires longer cooMng and has a shorter shelf life. Fortified or enriched rice is the combination of ordinary milled rice with rice that has been coated with thiamine, niacin, iron and sometimes riboflavin. The fortifying materials adhere firmly and do not dissolve with ordinary washing or cooking. Rice adds variety to everyday meals. Read the labels carefully and follow the directions precisely on any rice that you buy. Homemakers Conference — We have 12 seats left on the bus, June 14, to homemakers conference. You do not have to be an extension homemaker to attend. If you are interested, please call the extension office at Warsaw. If we cannot fill the bus it will be cancelled.
