Processing Method

Steamed basmathi rice is processed by cleaning the rice grains and then subjecting them to Steamed. This process helps to partially cook the rice before it is dried and packaged. The steaming process helps retain the nutrients and the shape of the rice grains.

Parboiled basmathi rice undergoes a different process. The rice grains are soaked, steamed and then dried before being de-husked. This process helps in retaining more nutrients in the rice compared to regular white rice. Parboiled rice is also known for being more nutritious than white rice.

Texture

Steamed basmathi rice typically has a fluffy and separate grain texture when cooked. The grains remain firm and do not stick together, making it ideal for dishes where you want individual grains of rice.

Parboiled basmathi rice has a firmer texture compared to regular white rice. The grains are less likely to break or stick together during cooking, resulting in a more separate and fluffy end product.

Cooking Time

Steamed basmathi rice generally cooks faster than Parboiled rice since it has been partially pre-cooked during the steaming process.

Parboiled rice usually takes longer to cook than regular white rice or Steamed basmathi rice due to the parboiling process.

Nutritional Content

Steamed basmathi rice retains more of its original nutrients compared to regular white rice. The steaming process helps preserve the nutrients in the rice grains.

Parboiled rice is known to retain more nutrients than regular white rice due to the parboiling process. It retains more vitamins and minerals, particularly in the outer layers of the grain.

Both types of rice have their own unique characteristics and can be used in various dishes based on personal preferences and cooking requirements.
