Bomba Paella Rice, 1/2 kilo bag

This is the rice for making authentic Spanish paella. There are a few other varieties that work well in paella, but Bomba is top-of-the-line. It's a shorter grain rice, and though it resembles Italian arborio in shape, it behaves much differently. It can absorb 3 times its volume in liquid yet still retain its toothy texture. When using Bomba, you'll need 3 cups of liquid for each 1 cup of rice. Bomba does cost more than other rice, but if you want to make paella the Spanish way, this is the way to go.

1/2 kilo cloth bag (1.1 lbs). Contains 2 1/4 cups of rice, yields approx. 7 cups of cooked rice.
