Parboiled Rice

Parboiled Rice is a type of parboiled long-grain rice commonly used in South Indian cooking for idlis and other steamed preparations; it is prized for its firm texture and ability to hold shape. Nutritionally it is mainly a carbohydrate source and provides 7.5g of protein per 100 g, with very little fat and only modest fiber, and it retains some B vitamins and minerals from the parboiling process. From a health perspective it supplies a decent-quality protein for a cereal but is relatively low in fiber and antioxidant-rich plant compounds compared with whole-grain rice varieties, so swapping to whole-grain options will increase fiber and phytochemical intake.
