The best kind of rice for you is regular Brown Rice, the worst is quick-cook White Rice (no Nutritional value) ------------------------------------------- If you are cooking specific dishes then certain rice varieties are better than others. For Risotto the three most popular grains of risotto rice you'll find are:
Arborio The most popular grain, it is large and rounded and has a wonderful creamy texture.
Carnaroli This long, elegant grain that tends to hold its shape well even when completely cooked. It's a good choice if you find your risotto always turns a little mushy.
Vialone nano This is said to have the creamiest, smoothest texture of all. For Curries Basmarti rice form the foothills of Kashmir is perhaps the best.

There are many types of rice, but Basmati rice is the best. All other types are cheap and usually are short grains. Basmati rice has long grains and tastes the BEST. This is not just my opinion, ask anyone. You will get the same answer. Basmati. Is. The. Best. :)
