Nutritional Information
Because this rice is parboiled, it generally retains a bit more of its natural nutrients compared to raw milled rice, since the parboiling process pushes some nutrients from the bran into the grain itself before milling. It remains primarily a source of carbohydrates for energy, along with a modest amount of protein. It is naturally free of fat and cholesterol.


Cooking Suggestions
Parboiled rice generally requires a slightly different water ratio and cooking time compared to raw rice; rinsing before cooking and using a water ratio of about 2 cups per cup of rice tends to give good results. This rice works well for everyday meals served with sambar, rasam, and a variety of curries, offering the satisfying texture many households associate with home-cooked Tamil meals.


Good to Know
Because this is a large 20 Lb bag, storing it in a cool, dry pantry and transferring smaller portions into airtight containers for regular use helps protect the bulk supply from moisture and maintain its quality over time. Parboiled rice also tends to hold up well when reheated, making it convenient for meal prepping. Because parboiled rice holds its texture well, many households specifically choose it for dishes that will be reheated or eaten over the course of a few days. This 20 Lb size offers good value for households that cook rice on a near-daily basis. A gentle fluff with a fork after cooking helps keep the grains from clumping together. Its satisfying texture makes it a comforting staple for daily meals. A side of sambar rounds out a simple, satisfying everyday meal.
