Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Converted Rice
Also called parboiled rice, converted rice is brown rice that has been pressure-steamed to force water-soluble nutrients into the kernel. The rice is then dried and milled.
The result is a beige colored rice that is similar in texture and flavor to white rice.
