What is the longest grain rice?

Does anyone know if Basmati is longer than the Extra Long varieties of rice?

While I have never seen extra long rice, I do know that Basmati rice is a longer grain than non-Basmati types.

I was going to say wild rice but my wife reminds me that wild rice is really a grass, not a rice.

Does anyone know if Basmati is longer than the Extra Long varieties of rice?

I'm not sure that it's any longer, really, but the length-to-width ratio is higher for Basmati. If you compare an Extra Long grain to a Basmati grain, you'll see that the Basmati grain is noticeably thinner.

Thanks everyone!

Mark - that's what I was looking for. Thank you.

so size DOES matter; and this is beginning to sound a lot like rice porn.

Of course it does, David...we all try and pretend it doesn't, but it does...
