Long grain white rice is a milled rice with slender, polished kernels. It cooks up fluffy and separate with a mild, neutral taste; common in pilaf, biryani, fried rice, and as a simple steamed side. Sold as regular or parboiled, often polished and sometimes enriched.

Long-grain types trace to Indica rice cultivated across South and Southeast Asia before spreading through the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. It anchors dishes in Indian, Persian, Caribbean, and Southern U.S. cuisines. White rice results from removing the husk, bran, and germ during milling.
