What it is

Enriched parboiled long grain rice is white rice that has been partially boiled in the husk. This process, called parboiling, helps retain more nutrients, especially B vitamins, when the rice is milled. It is then enriched, meaning specific vitamins and iron are added back after milling.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enriched parboiled rice as a base for many dishes because it is less likely to stick together and has a longer shelf life than regular white rice. It is commonly found in packaged rice mixes, side dishes, and entrees.

Health notes

Enriched parboiled long grain rice is a staple food and a source of carbohydrates and added nutrients. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated rice and its enrichment, and has established acceptable daily intakes for added vitamins and iron. Consuming enriched rice contributes to overall nutrient intake.

Allergen info

Rice is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
