During the parboiling process, the
grain's starch gelatinises, giving an extra hard grain. When cooked,
parboiled rice does not produce the stickiness that is typical of other
rice varieties and is fluffier.

Economical

Due to its special processing, parboiled rice absorbs more water than conventional white rice and is particularly economic. And rice is an absolute bargain in comparison to other side dishes!
