Santo TomasBomba Rice, 2.2 Pound (Pack Of 5)

We have a new neighbor that has Spanish roots. She recently returned from Spain and offered to teach us how to make paella. We bought all the necessary tools and ingredients & she came over to teach us how to prepare it. I think Bomba rice is the key ingredient in preparing a successful paella. It's the one ingredient that absorbs a little bit of each other ingredient's flavor. It's forgiving if too much liquid is added. We're very happy we bought the 5 pack and can continue to experiment with different flavor ingredients.

Bomba rice is a controlled denomination rice grown in specific areas of Spain solely for making paellas. Meaning it can ONLY be called Bomba rice if it’s grown and raised in this part of Spain. Just like you can only call Champagne sparkling wine when the grapes are grown in Champagne, France or Bourbon only if brewed in Kentucky.I have used this rice quite a few times when making several paellas and it has never disappointed us or our guests. Even native paella experts.It always comes out great.It absorbs several times it’s weight in liquid, the most of any type of rice. It’s also flavorful and it cooked correctly makes great succorah.And if you happen to over estimate the right water-to-rice ratio (a frequent debate) it is very forgiving, allowing you to cook it longer.Comes in unique kilo sized (2.2 lbs or 1,000 grams) white sacks made of clothing material.I highly recommend it.Sold by several Amazon vendors.

This is my go-to rice for arroz con pollo and paella. Absorbs a lot of liquid. Hard to overcook. The real deal.
