Parboiled Ponni Rice ORGANIC CERTIFIED

Introducing our Parboiled Naatu Ponni (a white rice variety), a treasured heirloom variety that undergoes a meticulous parboiling process. Cultivated for an impressive period of 180+ days, this batch of rice was harvested during the auspicious 2022 Pongal festival.

Parboiling is a unique and specialized technique that enhances the nutritional profile and cooking properties of rice. Our Parboiled Naatu Ponni Rice undergoes this process to bring you a product that combines the goodness of traditional cultivation with the advantages of modern technology.

During the parboiling process, the harvested paddy rice undergoes three main steps: soaking, steaming, and drying. First, the paddy rice is thoroughly cleaned to remove impurities and then soaked in water. This soaking phase allows the moisture to penetrate the rice grains, leading to partial gelatinization of the starches present.

Next, the soaked rice is steamed under controlled temperature and pressure. This steam treatment further gelatinizes the starches, ensuring that they migrate from the outer layers to the core of each grain. The steaming process also helps retain the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals present in the rice.

After steaming, the rice is carefully dried to remove excess moisture. This drying phase stabilizes the rice and prevents spoilage, ensuring a longer shelf life. Once dried, the rice is then milled to remove the outer husk, resulting in the distinctive parboiled rice grains.

The parboiling process brings several nutritional advantages to our Parboiled Naatu Ponni Rice. Due to the partial gelatinization of starches, parboiled rice has a lower glycemic index compared to regular white rice. This means it provides sustained energy release and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, parboiling enhances the retention of essential vitamins and minerals, such as thiamine, niacin, and iron.

Our Parboiled Naatu Ponni Rice retains its exceptional flavor, enticing aroma, and delightful texture even after parboiling. It cooks up fluffy and separate, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of dishes and everyday meals.

With our Parboiled Naatu Ponni Rice, you can savor the nutritional advantages brought by the parboiling process while relishing the heritage and authentic taste of this heirloom rice variety. Experience the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, and elevate your culinary creations to new heights with our premium Parboiled Naatu Ponni Rice.
