I've always been a huge fan of Toro rice. But it's becoming harder to find and the price seems to keep going up. I've tried Cajun Country which is from the same company but it's much more starchy and not near as good.

I say Toro rice is the best and I'm struggling to find a good replacement.
What're everyone else's favorite brands/strains of rice?

Rinse in water until water runs clear and it removes the starch.

I try to only use rice found in Crowley or Rayne. The old Rayne rice mill is back at producing again apparently... Saw some in a rouses. Toro is hard to find...

Mahatma. It wasn't until I tried Mahatma that I realized what trash Uncle Ben's is.

I have Mahatma long grain for jambalaya and dirty rice. It's the only dishes that I won't use jasmine rice in.

For gumbos,stews, beans,etc ... I have a canister on my kitchen counter that's half mahatma long grain, half mahatma jasmine. I mix them ... it cuts the aromatics down to the level that I like.
