Lifestyle, cooking: what is parboiled rice?
For me, learning to cook means constant self-tutoring. The tutor shares what he discovered about parboiled rice.
Parboiled rice
When rice is harvested, each grain is inside a protective, inedible hull. During parboiling, the rice is steamed while still inside the hull, and nutrients dissolve from the hull into the rice grain.

Moreover, parboiled rice, when cooked, has grains less sticky, but rather more distinct, than has non-parboiled rice.
Parboiled rice is also called converted rice.
