This is a generic term for rices that are so short in length that they are almost round.

They absorb a lot of liquid and release a lot of starch, making them ideal for recipes where you want a creamy mixture, such as risotto or rice pudding. The rice will stick together to make a good base, such as in sushi, or in rice salads so that other ingredients don't just fall right through them.

Their stickiness also makes them easier to pick up with chopsticks.
