long grain
Fluffy, separate kernels
Long grain describes rice varieties with slender kernels that stay separate and fluffy when cooked, rather than clumping together.
The grains are typically four to five times longer than they are wide.
Basmati and jasmine are popular long grain varieties.
Long grain rice is better for pilafs; short grain works for sushi.
