Arborio rice (uncooked)

Arborio rice is a short-grain Italian rice variety prized for its high starch content, which releases during slow cooking to create a naturally creamy texture. It is the traditional choice for risotto, where it is cooked gradually with stock, stirred frequently, and finished with a slightly firm, al dente bite. Its plump grains absorb liquid well without turning mushy when cooked properly.

Measured before cooking, while the ingredient hasn't yet absorbed water or changed texture.
