Arborio rice
Pronounce it: ahh-bore-e-o rice
The high-starch kernels of this Italian-grown grain are shorter and plumper than any other short-grain rice. When cooked the grains become soft in texture with a chalky centre. Arborio is traditionally used for risotto because during the cooking process some of the starch from the rice is released and creates the desired creaminess.
