How is Parboiled Rice Processed in India?

[amoli.intltraders]

Direct Answer: Parboiled rice is processed through a three-step method soaking, steaming, and drying before milling, which partially pre-cooks the grain and locks in nutrients.

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Soaking: Raw paddy is soaked in water for 24–48 hours to allow water absorption
2. Steaming: Soaked paddy is pressure-steamed, which gelatinizes the starch and drives nutrients from the bran into the grain
3. Drying: Steamed paddy is dried to reduce moisture, making it ready for milling
4. Milling & Sortex Cleaning: Husk and bran are removed; grains are sortex-cleaned for export quality

The result is a golden-yellow, firmer, and more nutritious grain compared to regular white rice. Parboiled rice has a lower glycemic index, longer shelf life, and doesn't become sticky after cooking making it ideal for export markets.
