I'm no expert, but I use Mahayma extra long grain rice.

Sometimes I use Uncle Ben's parboiled rice. I think now that I am better at cooking Jambalaya that I could use regular rice.
I just want to say your Jambalaya thread is a great reference for me. Thanks.

I use Toro long grain, comes out of Crowley or somewhere in that neck of the woods. But I've used everything from it to ShurFresh and never been able to notice any difference. I buy local rice and/or products when possible.

I've started making it the past few years with jasmine rice. Works great.

Alot here disagree.... But u cant screw up Zatarains
Posted on 4/28/13 at 5:42 pm to unclebuck504
I use Zatarian's parboiled

Any long grain will work. Can't stand the parboiled stuff personally. It has a cardboardy texture, with every grain too separate and chalky. Prefer a more tender, softer rice that sticks together a bit.

Use purple rice
It's a great conversation piece

what Tor said. In my opinion Toro 2 is the most forgiving rice you can use when cooking jambalaya. IT is a long grain that cooks like a medium grain. If you are off on your rice:water ratio it will still come out ok.

Toro, but I've had success with any of them on the grocers shelf.

I use Zatarains par boiled as well but I'll be the first to admit it would get me run out of Gonzales. It's like wrapping ribs in foil or par boiling. It's cheating.
But it's not for lack of trying. I've screwed up many a pot with regular long grain rice. And I can cook regular rice all day long just can't do it in a jambalaya to save my arse.
I only cook about one a year anyway so I'm a rookie.

Mahatma is my go to and what I keep at the house.
I have used Zatarian's before and honestly it wasn't bad. A lot of people hate on it but I couldn't tell the difference
