white rice
Sushi's starchy base
White rice is rice that has been milled to remove the husk, bran, and germ, leaving only the starchy white endosperm.
This processing gives it a milder flavor and softer texture than brown rice, and extends shelf life, but strips away most fiber and nutrients.
It's the dominant form of rice worldwide: a side of white rice, white rice with stir-fry.
