Clue ~ rice sells at the world price in the US. We are also one of the smaller producers. The big boys are China, Thailand and Vietnam.

Bismati, though, is terrible stuff. An acquired taste I've heard. And it doesn't stick together well enough to make decent sushi.

Basmati is very long. You need some short grain rice for yummy Japanese dishes with sticky rice.

Basmati and Thai jasmine rice both smell wonderful when they're cooking. They smell like flowers. Rich, buttery flowers.

But I'm just a Georgia redneck, I can easily whip out the Mahatma US-grown white rice just as well. Or a potato. Flowers are optional.

I believe we are the third largest exporter of rice though. The current shortage should be doing our farmers some good right now.

I had no trouble acquiring it. Indian rice is heavenly.
