Cooked rice refers to rice that has been cooked either by steaming or boiling. The terms steamed rice or boiled rice are also commonly used. Any variant of Asian rice (both Indica and Japonica varieties), African rice or wild rice , glutinous or non-glutinous, long-, medium-, or short-grain, of any colour, can be used.
Instant rice is a white rice that is partly precooked and then is dehydrated and packed in a dried form similar in appearance to that of regular white rice. That process allows the product to be later cooked as if it were normal rice but with a typical cooking time of 5 minutes, not the 20–30 minutes needed by white rice (or the still greater time required by brown rice).
The Weights and Measures Act 1824 (5 Geo. 4. c. 74) declared that, for measures of liquids and unheaped dry volume, a 'quarter' equals eight bushels (64 imperial gallons (290.95 L), where a gallon is defined as a volume of water weight ten troy pounds). [12] The term pail is also used for this unit of dry volume. [13]
Upland rice, by contrast, is primarily rain-fed or lightly irrigated and is not reliant on flooded conditions. This category includes both specially bred varieties that are drought-tolerant and traditional rice varieties that have adapted to drier environment. [2] Nearly 100 million people depend on upland rice as their daily staple food.
