What it is
Long grain rice is a type of rice that is longer than it is wide, typically four to five times as long. Parboiled rice is rice that has been partially boiled in the husk. Enriched rice has added nutrients, such as iron and B vitamins, that were lost during processing.
Why it's used
Enriched parboiled long grain rice is often used in packaged rice mixes and side dishes. Manufacturers use it because it holds its shape well during cooking and has a longer shelf life than regular white rice. It provides a base for absorbing flavors in dishes like flavored rice pilafs and Spanish rice.
