A rice for everyone A few varieties to satisfy everyone Rice is a versatile food, endowed with specific characteristics that the scientific research and the industrial technique have enhanced by selecting the correct varieties for the different gastronomic uses and by milling them in the best way. Italian rice is divided in four groups by law: Riso Comune or Nano (Tondo - Round Rice), Riso Semifino (Medio - Medium Rice), Riso Fino and Riso Superfino (Lungo - Long Rice). The Riso Comune or Nano is also called "Round", because of its small and round grains that quickly absorb water and seasonings and cook in a short time (12-13 minutes). This rice is therefore suitable for soups, but also for the preparation of fillings and mostly puddings. The ability of absorption and its rapidity in cooking make it vulnerable to overcook. The Riso Medio is ideal for risotti and soups, the grain has to cook for a longer time (13-15 minutes), and maintains its own consistence. This rice could also be used for fillings, but it is surely the most proper as a side dish, for "Supplì" and also some typical dishes from the South of Italy, as the famous "Sartù". The Riso Lungo cooks slowly and is used for the most popular recipes, from appetizers to salads, from main courses to risottis. The cooking time of this bigger, round, longer grains rice is longer than the average: it should be at least 14-16 minutes. The industries that distribute Italian rice indicate the cooking time on the packaging. Besides the packet also explains the perfect way to use the different vaieties of rice, in order to introduce everyone to its use.
