Everything you need to know about parboiled rice: A comprehensive guide
What characterizes parboiled rice?
Parboiled rice is a special form of refined rice that is achieved through the so-called parboiling process. This process is particularly useful for preserving the nutrients in the rice. It ensures that no valuable vitamins and minerals are lost when the silver skin and the germ – which together form the rice bran – are removed.
The parboiling process: how does it work?
The parboiling process begins with soaking the rice grain in hot water. This treatment dissolves the vitamins and minerals in the grains and softens the rice grain at the same time. Strong pressure then presses these valuable nutrients into the grain. The parboiling process also seals and hardens the grain surface, making the rice less sticky and more grainy – ideal for repeated reheating without losing quality.
Advantages and properties
This rice is characterized by its yellowish color when uncooked. It is ideal for anyone who prefers a grainy and fluffy side dish. The cooking time is usually 16 to 18 minutes, making it a practical option for quick and nutritious meals.
