Eat Healthy, Eat Parboiled Rice

Parboiled rice is a good source of carbohydrates, the main source of energy for the body. Parboiled rice is rich in vitamins and minerals because during the parboiling process, the nutrients contained in the bran move into the endosperm of the rice grains unlike in white rice where all that nutrient is lost in the milling process.
