Description

Unboiled white rice” refers to polished, or milled, white rice that has not undergone the parboiling process, which is a partial boiling of the paddy before de-husking. While standard white rice has the hull, bran, and germ removed, unboiled white rice lacks the added nutritional benefits from parboiling, which involves steaming and drying to lock in vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and iron. Consequently, unboiled white rice is primarily composed of starch and offers less nutrition than parboiled or brown rice, though it may still be enriched with added iron and B vitamins.
