In this section, I shall talk about the rice you find in your supermarket or so-called ‘ethnic’ store. Obviously the selection is going to vary quite a bit from country to country, but the major types are likely to be represented in most places, under one brand name or another. Australians, for example, will look for Sunrice where Americans will expect to find Uncle Ben’s.

There are several different ways of classifying rice as a product, and some of the types overlap. So this section is based on an attempt to classify the classifications.
