Brown Parboiled Rice

brown parboiled rice Brown parboiled rice is available from some specialty shops and natural foods stores. Because parboiling drives oils into the bran, unmilled (“brown”) parboiled rice is a little oily. If it is stored in a paper bag, you will see smudges of oil on the sides of the bag a few days after you buy it. Because of the oil, parboiled brown rice will go rancid if kept too long or if not stored in a cool place..
