Long Grain
Long grain rice has a long, slender kernel, three to four times longer than its width. Kernels are 6-8mm long. Due to its starch composition, cooked grains are lighter, fluffier, and more separated than their medium or short grain counterparts. Long grain works well in pilafs, stir-fry, salad, soup and southern favorites.

Fat 1 g
Carbohydrate 69g
Fiber 2g
Protein 7 g
Medium Grain
Medium grain rice has a shorter, wider kernel than long grain rice, two to three times longer than its width. Kernels are 5-6mm long. Cooked grains are moist and tender, with a tendency to cling together. Medium grain is ideal for dishes with a creamy consistency like paella or risotto, as well as Asian dishes and confections, and snacks.

Short Grain
Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Kernels are 4-5mm long. Cooked grains are soft and stickier than other varieties with a slight springiness to the bite. Similar to medium grain, short grain rice is ideal for dishes with creamy consistency, sweet, and Asian dishes.

HAZARDS AND SAFETY
Urea is non-combustible; but Urea dust can be ignited at temperature above 900oC. : Decomposes at melting point. Use extinguishing media needed to control surrounding area.
Primary Routes of Exposure : Eye contact,skin,inhalation & ingestion
Acute Effects : Irritation at contact area
Chronic Signs & Symptoms : Prolong exposure to dust could irritate the lungs Exposure Limits : 10 mg/m3 (fine dust)
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area.
Protect the product from the weather effects, especially direct sunlight and rain.
Store in clean environment, free of dust/dirt.
Protect the fertilizer from moisture, which can cause lumps and dust, influencing spreading capabilities. Equipped with pallet racking to avoid the need for double stacking.
Do not blend or store in contact with ammonium nitrate.
PACKAGING
