long-grain
Fluffy when cooked
Long-grain describes rice varieties with slender kernels that cook up fluffy and separate rather than sticky: long-grain white rice, long-grain basmati.
The grains are typically four to five times longer than they are wide.
Long-grain rice suits pilafs, salads, and dishes where distinct grains are desirable.
