Boiled rice, also known as parboiled rice, is rice that has been partially cooked in its husk through a process of soaking, steaming, and drying. This technique forces nutrients from the bran into the grain, making it more nutritious than regular white rice.
Key Benefits & Characteristics
- Nutrition: It is rich in B-vitamins (especially thiamine), manganese, and selenium.
- Digestion: The process creates resistant starch, which acts as a prebiotic, aiding gut health and providing a lower glycaemic index—making it a better option for managing blood sugar.
- Texture: It is firmer, less sticky, and more resistant to overcooking than regular white rice.
