About Rice, white, medium-grain, raw, unenriched
Medium-grain white rice raw is higher in amylopectin starch than long-grain varieties, which is precisely what makes it clump and turn slightly sticky when cooked. Fiber is essentially zero, protein is low, and fat is minimal. This is the rice of sushi, risotto-adjacent preparations, and paella-adjacent dishes where some stickiness or creaminess is the point. The shorter, plumper grains absorb flavors from surrounding liquid readily. It cooks faster than long-grain and benefits from resting covered after the heat is off to finish steaming.
