Broken Rice contains more grain fragments within the grain. The length of rice does not exceed three quarters of the average length of the whole grain. This type of rice is a lower quality of rice and usually used for baby formulas, rice cereals as well as pre-package or can goods.

You can also find broken Jasmine rice. Broken rice cooks up into a softer grain than whole rice, so it's ideal for any recipe that calls for a starchy binder, like soups.
