Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does it mean when rice is of the "japonica" variety?
It refers to a subspecies of rice (Oryza sativa) characterized by having short, round grains and a high starch content, which gives it its sticky texture ideal for sushi.

2. Is it necessary to wash this rice before cooking it?
Yes, it is highly recommended to rinse it several times with cold water to remove excess starch and achieve a cleaner, more defined texture after cooking.

3. Can I use this rice for dishes other than sushi?
Of course! Its creamy texture makes it ideal for preparing onigiri (rice balls), as a side dish in Japanese curries, or even in some Asian desserts.

4. Why is rice vinegar mentioned?
Rice vinegar, mixed with a little sugar and salt, is the traditional seasoning (called "sushi-zu") added to cooked rice to give it its characteristic flavor and help preserve it.

5. Is this product suitable for celiacs?
Yes, rice is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

6. What is the difference with normal long grain rice?
Long-grain rice (indica type) remains loose and separate when cooked, while short-grain rice (japonica type) clumps together, which is essential for sushi pieces to maintain their shape.
