What it is

This is a type of rice that has been partially cooked (parboiled) and then blanched, a process of brief heating. It is enriched, meaning vitamins and iron have been added back after processing. Long grain rice is known for its grains separating easily after cooking.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it as a base ingredient in dishes like frozen dinners and casseroles. Its parboiled nature helps it hold its shape and texture during reheating, making it suitable for convenience foods.

The FDA considers enriched rice to be a safe and nutritious food. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rice and its components, generally recognizing them as safe for consumption.
