Worldwide there are more than 120,000 different varieties of rice, though only a small number offer the quality acceptable for commercial growth in the United States.These varieties can be divided into long, medium and short grain rice. An increasing number of sweet, aromatic and Arborio rice varieties are also produced in the U.S.
