Organic Goan Red Rice

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.
