Maximum Nutrition Retained
About 1121 Parboiled Rice
Parboiled 1121 Basmati with enhanced nutrition profile, lower glycemic index, and perfect texture.
Parboiling is a pre-cooking process where paddy is soaked in water, steamed under pressure, and dried before milling. This forces nutrients from the bran into the grain, making our 1121 Parboiled Rice significantly more nutritious than white rice.

Why Choose 1121 Parboiled Rice?
Nutrient-Dense Processing
Parboiling drives B-vitamins and minerals from the bran into the grain core — 80% more nutrients than white rice.
Unbreakable Grains
The parboiling process hardens the grain, reducing broken percentage to under 1% during milling and transport.
Perfect Non-Sticky Finish
Parboiled 1121 grains never clump or stick — each grain remains individually defined even after reheating.
Amber-Gold Appearance
The distinctive amber color is a natural result of parboiling — visually appealing and a sign of premium processing.
How We Process 1121 Parboiled Rice
Paddy soaked in large vats at controlled temperatures for 8-12 hours to initiate starch gelatinization.
Pressurized steaming at 110-120°C drives nutrients from the bran deep into the endosperm kernel.
Sun-dried and then machine-dried in stages to prevent stress cracks in the hardened grains.
Husked through rubber-roll shellers — parboiled paddy yields 5-8% more whole kernels than raw paddy.
Polished to customer specifications: light polish (retaining amber hue) or heavy polish (lighter appearance).
Graded through precision length graders to separate extra-long grains from short/broken pieces.
Buyer's Tip
Parboiled 1121 is the best choice for buyers shipping to tropical climates — the hardened grains resist humidity, insects, and have the longest shelf life of any Basmati grade.
