What it is

Parboiled brown rice is whole grain rice that has been partially boiled in the husk. This process is done before milling to improve its texture, increase its shelf life, and retain more nutrients. The grain is then dried, milled, and packaged.

No specific health concerns are associated with parboiled brown rice when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
