Parboiling process improves nutritional value and taste of rice varieties.
The study looked at how parboiling affects the quality of two types of rice. They found that parboiling made the rice longer and reduced broken grains. White rice had higher water uptake and cooked faster than brown rice. Parboiling also changed the protein and mineral content of the rice. Overall, parboiling improved the appearance and taste of the rice, even though it slightly altered some nutritional aspects.
