Below is an introduction from one of our preferred suppliers.There are many varieties of rice in the world. Rice comes in many shapes and even colours. Our supplier prides itself as one of the world's biggest parboiled rice exporters. The specialty and techniques in parboiling cultivated from within the Group by our second generation founder has inspired the parboiling industry in Thailand, prompting it to flourish since then. While parboiled rice is priority, Our supplier also exports other rice of various varieties, grades and packing sizes. 

Parboiled rice
Parboiled rice is a variety of rice products that owes its distinct characteristics of yellowish, yet translucent appearance to the parboiling process, which is a hydrothermal process of soaking, steaming and drying the paddy before milling. The result of such process gives many benefits such as to increase the milling yield of paddy, to prevent the loss of valuable nutrients during milling and to improve the shelf life of rice as well as to prevent the proliferation of fungus and insects. 

After parboiling, the grain structure becomes compact and the content of vitamins and mineral salts enhanced. The grains remain firmer during cooking. 

Though not a staple food for the Thai, parboiled rice has been actively produced in Thailand for export to countries all over the world. one of our preferred suppliers has been renowned as the forefront company in the development of parboiling process and having been in the top 5 of the world's parboiled rice exporting companies.
