Parboiled rice (also called converted rice) is rice that has been partially boiled. The three basic steps of parboiling are soaking, steaming and drying.These steps also make rice easier to process by hand, boost its nutritional profile and change its texture.
About 50% of the world’s paddy production is parboiled. The treatment is practiced in many parts of the world.
Parboiling drives nutrients, especially thiamin,hence parboiled white rice is 80% nutritionally similar to brown rice.
