Description
Bomba rice is a short-grain Spanish rice that when cooked, expands in width, which differs from most rice varieties that expand in length. Bomba rice is able to absorb three times its volume in liquid, so bomba rice is one of the best rice varieties for the preparation of popular Spanish paella recipes. When cooked, the bomba rice remain separate and do not stick together. It is bright white in colour. It is expensive compared to other rice varieties due to the care required in cultivation and the length of time required for it to mature. Bomba rice is commonly used in Valencian cuisine. It is seeded in the spring and harvested in the fall. It is native to Spain.
