Calrose (short-grain) rice

Also called: Bariis kuuskuusan (Kaalroos) (Soomaali) · Riz rond (Calrose) (Français) · أرز قصير الحبة (مصري/كالروز) (العربية)

Good to know

Calrose is a medium-to-short grain rice, often sold as ‘Egyptian rice’ at Middle Eastern grocers. Its plump, starchy grains turn creamy and soft, ideal for puddings and stuffings. Don’t swap in basmati here.
