Long grain brown rice has slender grains that separate more readily when cooked, better suited to pilaf and dishes where fluffy individual grains are preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use short grain brown rice for Japanese-style dishes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — short grain brown rice is the whole-grain equivalent of Japanese sushi\/sticky rice varieties. It won't be as sticky as white short grain rice, but works well in rice bowls, onigiri (with longer cooking), and any dish where a cohesive texture is acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs rice gluten-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — all rice is naturally gluten-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does short grain brown rice take to cook?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e35–40 minutes in a 1:2 ratio (rice:water).
