About Parboiled rice

Parboiled rice, also known as converted rice, is partially pre-cooked in its husk through a steaming and drying process before milling. This method enhances its nutritional profile, retaining more vitamins and minerals compared to regular white rice, particularly B vitamins and iron. With its origins in ancient Asia and popular use in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Southern U.S. cuisines, parboiled rice offers a firm texture and slightly nutty flavor, making it versatile for a variety of dishes. It has a low glycemic index compared to white rice, making it a better option for managing blood sugar levels. Additionally, parboiled rice is a good source of carbohydrates for energy and contains small amounts of protein. However, like other rice varieties, it is low in fiber and should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
