Indica Rice

Indica rice refers to rice varieties derived from the indica subspecies of *Oryza sativa*. These rice types are typically characterized by long, slender grains that tend to stay separate and fluffy when cooked. Indica rice is commonly grown in tropical and subtropical regions, such as India, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa. It has a drier, more separated texture compared to sticky rice, making it suitable for a variety of dishes like pilafs, biryanis, and fried rice. Its flavor is usually mild, allowing it to complement diverse culinary styles.
