Fragrant rice is about three times more flexible than American long grain rice.
To harvest fragrant rice, long stalks are cut and pounded. The rice can then be left in the form of hulls called rice, dehulled to produce brown rice, or milled to remove sprouts and some or all of the bran, creating white rice.
