What it is
Precooked parboiled long grain rice is a type of rice that has been partially boiled in the husk before milling. This process helps to retain some of the vitamins and minerals, and makes the grains firmer and less sticky when cooked.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use precooked parboiled rice to speed up cooking time and improve texture in ready-to-eat meals, side dishes, and rice mixes. It is often found in boil-in-bag products because it requires less cooking time than regular rice.
Health notes
Precooked parboiled rice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated rice and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Rice does not contain gluten.
