Arborio rice is a classic Italian short-grain rice known for its high starch content, which creates a rich, creamy texture while still maintaining a slight firmness at the center. It absorbs flavors beautifully, making it a staple for risotto, rice puddings, and other creamy rice dishes. Cooking Instructions: Use about 1 cup of Arborio rice for 2–3 servings. Lightly sauté in butter or oil, then gradually add about 3 to 4 cups of warm broth, stirring often. Continue adding liquid until the rice is creamy and tender with a slight bite, usually 18–20 minutes. Serve immediately.
