Grain

Bombyx

C tier

Bombyx appears in trade and catalog lists as a named rice type rather than a household brand most shoppers recognise on supermarket endcaps. Expect medium-to-long milled grain behaviour suited to plain boiling and pilaf-style dishes where a neutral starch is required. Treat it as a regional or specialty listing until miller notes clarify aroma and stickiness. Use as everyday steamed rice if the bag specifies table use, or fold into mixed-grain blends. When documentation is thin, cook a small test batch and note water ratio and cling before committing a dinner party. Source from mills that declare origin and milling date for best, least stale results.
