Parboiled rice is not "Minute Rice".

You are all fired.

Benjamin, contrary to popular belief on Caltrops I don't normally use Wikipedia when posting and I certainly do not quote it; I use the contents of my own mind. This is one time I will use it as a reference to rebut one of your statements. Wikipedia's article on parboiled rice says that it is the same thing as "converted rice" and the packages of Minute Rice claim they are converted rice, Q.E.D.

The forum's search engine disagrees.

Absolutely incorrect, you fat sperging fuck. The "converted rice" packages say "converted rice". The "Minute Rice" packages say "INSTANT".

Q.E.Please stop posting.

What are some of the uses for parboiled rice? I mean, in a cooking and eating genre.

I would imagine just the same dishes as rice that has not been parboiled, just faster, right?

Eating it.

Parboiled rice is no faster to cook than regular white rice. You're all confusing "parboiled" with "instant" because Uncle Ben's sells both kinds and nobody realizes the difference.

Parboiled rice is rice that has been partially cooked in the husk, then dried. This imparts a slightly tan color, adds a nice "toothiness" to the grains, while retaining the delicate flavor of white rice, but imparting 80% of the nutrients found in brown rice which is lost in the white.

So essentially, its texture makes it more of a substantial ingredient, and it's much more nutritious, particularly for people who can't stand brown rice (like me!)

I think it'll catch on here. It's already extensively used in Mexican/Spanish cuisine.

You're a riceist!
