Harvesting of rice, almost completed in the Southern states, is now underway in California. The total crop is forecast at 113.5 million hundredweight. This would be 22 percent above the 1973 crop of 92.8 million hun dredweight and 29 percent above the average for the 3 years, 1971-73. Rice is purchased ac cording to grain type: Long grain rice - cooked grains are light and fluffy, inclined to separate. Good for serving as side dishes, in salads, curries, stews, and in poultry and seafood. Medium grain rice - cooked grains are tender and moist and tend to cling together.

It has a nut-like flavor and slightly chewy texture. Excellent for use in dressing and stuffings. Shelf life is limited due to oil content of the bran. With the exception of brown rice and season mixes, properly stored rice may be kept indefinitely without loss of flavor or nutrients. It is recommended that large quantities to be stored for long periods be kept in air-tight, moisture proff containers in a cool place.
