Tanjore Ponni Rice/தஞ்சாவூர் பொன்னி அரிசி 1 KG

Instead, it’s processed quite differently from other types of rice. The complete grain of rice is soaked, steamed and dried, then the hull is removed to make parboiled rice. The steaming enables the rice to absorb nutrients and changes the starch so that it cooks into a firmer, less sticky dish of rice than regular white rice. The steaming does not precook the rice, so it still takes about 20 minutes to prepare. However, because of the special processing, parboiled rice is a better source of fibre, calcium, potassium and vitamin B-6 than regular white rice.
