White Arborio Rice (2 lb)

Description:

Italian short-grained rice. Characteristically short, plump, and oval-shaped, these beautifully-off-white grains are high in the starch, amylopectin. Upon cooking, Zibari Arborio Rice releases its natural starch … Resulting in an excellent creamy consistency perfect for absorbing liquids and flavors while still maintaining a firm, ‘toothy,’ tasty texture. Perfect for paella and risotto. But can also be used in other dishes that call for plump, creamy rice, including rice pudding, arancini, and sushi.

Preparation tips

You can cook Arborio rice as you would regular rice. In a medium, heavy-bottomed pot, bring 2 cups of salted water to boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, return to a boil, and then add 1 cup of Zibari Arborio Rice. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is fully absorbed, and rice is al-dente-about 20 minutes.
