What is IR 64 Parboiled Rice?

IR 64 Parboiled Rice is a medium-long grain rice that is partially boiled in the husk before milling. This process not only strengthens the grain but also locks in nutrients, making it more nutritious and less sticky when cooked. The rice has a light golden-yellow tint due to the parboiling process, and it retains its shape and texture well during cooking.

Why Importers Prefer IR 64 Parboiled Rice

  1. Long Shelf Life
    Its low moisture content and hardened surface make it ideal for long-distance shipping and warehousing.
  2. Non-Sticky Texture
    Cooks into fluffy, separate grains, making it perfect for dishes like biryani, pulao, and bulk canteen cooking.
  3. Highly Affordable
    Offers a lower cost per kilogram compared to premium basmati or jasmine rice—ideal for bulk orders in Africa, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
  4. Nutritional Advantage
    Parboiling helps retain important nutrients like Vitamin B and iron, making it a healthier choice than regular milled rice.
