Long Grain Parboiled Rice, also known as "germinated brown rice" or "sprouted rice," has more nutrients than regular basmati rice. Parboiled rice, also called converted rice, is partially precooked in its inedible husk before being processed for eating. In some Asian and African countries, people have been parboiling rice since ancient times. Parboiled rice is higher in B vitamins than unenriched, regular white rice. This is due to the parboiling process, during which some nutrients transfer from the bran into the starchy endosperm. Still, brown rice is the most nutritious.
