                                Did you know that the ancient practice of parboiling was used for centuries to make rice easier to mill and more resilient? Today, manufacturers rely on this same process to produce converted rice, which is parboiled to save nutrients, specifically by forcing water-soluble vitamins from the husk into the endosperm.
