Parboiled rice
Parboiled rice
Parboiled rice is paddy rice soaked and heat-treated before milling, producing kernels that generally cook relatively separate and firm for meals or mixed dishes.
About Parboiled rice
Parboiled rice is rice whose paddy grain has been soaked and heat-treated before milling. This processing moves some components from the outer layers into the grain and changes its cooking behaviour. The kernels are often yellowish or golden before cooking and tend to remain relatively separate and firm when prepared, though results depend on the rice variety.
It is sold in milled forms, including white and brown parboiled rice, and is used much like other table rice in meals and mixed dishes. Cooking time and texture vary by grain length and processing. Parboiled rice is not simply rice that has been partially cooked in the home; it is a distinct processed rice product.
