Bomba rice is considered one of the best rice varieties of the world by chefs. It has short, pearly grains. Its size is equivalent to that of round grain rice, sometimes smaller, but Bomba rice doubles in size when cooked. Its main characteristic is its great ability to absorb flavours and aromas and when cooked it remains ‘al dente’, loose and whole. Its connection with the different aromas and flavours of the Mediterranean make it a typical rice for the dishes of this region in particular for paella.
