Saffron
Derived from the dried stigmas of a purple-flowered crocus (Crocus sativus) used to color and flavor foods. This spice is one of the ingredients to the rice dish, Paella. Be sure to look for the Mahatma® and Carolina® Saffron Yellow Rice mixes at your grocer.
Sake
Traditional Japanese wine made of fermented rice.
Samba
Grown in southern India and Sri Lanka, samba is a tiny, almost round in shape rice. Samba can be either sticky or dry depending on its genetic strain. Sri Lankan rice is typically high in amylose (dryer).
Scarified
Is the process of 'roughing up' the bran layer on wild rice by scratching it in order to speed up cooking time and improve cooking consistency. If the kernel has been scarified it is light in color. If the kernel has not been scarified, it is dark and glossy. None of our Gourmet House® wild rice retail products have been scarified. For more information, visit

Sholleh
Sholleh Zard is Persian rice pudding flavored with saffron.
Short Grain Rice
Brown or white rice kernels averaging about 5 millimeters in length that are much thicker than long-grain varieties. Grains are soft and stick together when cooked. Also, referred to as "Valencia Rice".
