Riceland Enriched Parboiled Long Grain Rice
What it is
This is a type of rice that has been partially boiled in its husk. This process helps to retain more of the natural nutrients. The grains are long and separate well after cooking. It is a staple food enjoyed in many cuisines around the world.
How people cook with it
This rice is a versatile base for many dishes. It pairs well with a wide variety of flavors and ingredients.
- Side dish for main courses
- Base for stir-fries
- Ingredient in casseroles
- Component of pilafs
To cook, typically you would rinse the rice under cold water. Then, combine the rice with a specific amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. The parboiling makes it less likely to clump together.
How it differs from similar foods
Parboiled rice differs from regular white rice because the pre-boiling step gelatinizes the starches and pushes some nutrients from the bran into the endosperm. This results in firmer, more separate grains that are less prone to sticking or becoming mushy compared to standard long-grain white rice.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a reliable and easy-to-prepare rice for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused cooked rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days. Uncooked rice should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original packaging or a sealed container.
