There is also brown basmati, Thai black rice and Thai red rice. For brown
I prefer a short grain, Lundberg is sold locally. For white, I prefer a
good sushi rice. I prefer Maruyu to Kokuho Rose or Calrose. I buy two bags
at a time and I keep the extra bag in the freezer. As soon as a bag is
opened, it's poured into a large container to protect it from insects and
such (a few years ago we had an infestation of Indian meal moths and buying
large containers was a way of ensuring it would not happen again). Both
Maruyu and Lundberg are California Rice Commission recognized brands.

Also, I use a proper rice cooker, not one with a loose lid, but one that
clicks shut. That way we can eat the rest of the rice the next day.
