This is your everyday rice and the best quality rice available in South Africa. It is grown in Thailand and comes from the same supplier as the world champion Royal Umbrella brand.
Parboiled rice is not pre-cooked rice. Both parboiled and white rice are milled and polished. However, parboiled rice is first soaked, steamed and dried before being de-husked. This steaming process allows the rice kernels to absorb nutrients from the husk, which might be lost if the rice is just de-husked and polished as with white rice.
As a result, parboiled grains are also firmer and less sticky than normal white rice. Parboiled rice also takes a little longer to cook than white rice, but is in general more nutritious.
Spekko always cooks up loose, fluffy and delicious and proudly carries the LOW GI logo, which is not normally the case for Parboiled rice.
