Long Grain Rice – the most used rice. When cooked the grains are fluffy and the stay separated. It hardens when it cooks so it is not recommended for puddings and cold salads.

Converted Rice – steamed under pressure to save the nutrients before the hull is removed. The most nutrient dense

Instant Rice - precook and then dehydrated, cooks quickly and the yield is doubled

POPCORNPOPCORN

What is Popcorn?

Popcorn is a cereal grain and originates from a wild grass. It is the only type of corn that pops.

How does popcorn pop?Each kernel of popcorn has a small drop of water stored inside a circle of soft starch. The soft starch is surrounded by the kernel's hard outer surface. As the kernel heats up, the water begins to expand, and pressure builds against the hard starch.

Eventually, this hard surface gives way, causing the popcorn to

explode. As it explodes, the soft starch inside the popcorn becomes

inflated and bursts, turning the kernel inside out.
