Spekko Long Grain Parboiled White Rice 500g

Parboiled rice is not pre-cooked rice. Both parboiled and white rice are milled and polished. However, parboiled rice is first soaked, steamed and dried before being de-husked. This steaming process allows the rice kernels to absorb nutrients from the husk, which might be lost if the rice is just de-husked and polished as with white rice. As a result, parboiled grains are also firmer and less sticky than normal white rice. Parboiled rice also takes a little longer to cook than white rice, but is in general more nutritious.
