There is virtually no difference as far as nutritional value between long grain and short grain rice. Which one you should use depends on what you are using it for: Because short grain is stickier, it is a good choice for Asian cooking. Long grain tends to cook up light and fluffy and is a good choice for side dishes. Either choice will provide between 200-250 caloires/cup, cooked, between 42-55 gram of carbs; and about 5 grams of protein.
