Riceland Parboiled Brown Rice 500g / 17.6oz

Rice is one of the world’s staple foods because it contains many substances important for the body. It contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins and fiber. Rice is the staple food of millions of people and hundreds of cultures – so it can be used in almost all types of food. It can be served as a side dish, appetizer, main course and even as a dessert. Rice provides more than a fifth of the caloric intake of the entire human race, but only brown rice has a high nutritional value, as well as a high mineral and vitamin content. Brown rice is the most natural of the rice varieties, because only the outer husk, the chaff, is removed, which is covered by the inner husk of the seed, the bran. A special version of rice is parboiled or – as it is also called – pre-steamed rice, which is steamed while still in the shell, so it is tastier and more nutritious, because the minerals and vitamins in the shell enter the kernel during steaming.
