Description:

• From the coastal state of Goa, Goan Red Rice is known for its unique firm texture and slightly nutty grains making it ideal for coconut milk-based curries.
• It is parboiled, meaning boiled in the husk. Parboiling makes rice easier to process by hand, improves its nutritional profile, and changes its texture.
• However, because of the special processing, parboiled rice is a better source of fibre, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B-6 than regular white rice.
• Parboiled rice is a common variety of rice that has been pre-cooked with its husk before being dried again, it's less sticky and conserves more nutrients which are good for a diabetic patient. Goan red rice grain is cooked and served just as you would white or brown rice.
