About Beras Rebus

Beras rebus is also known as parboiled rice.  Parboiled rice is rice that has been boiled in the husk before it is processed, in order to maintain most of its nutrients. Parboiled rice is the preferred rice of many in the Southern parts of the Indian Subcontinent.  Parboiling rice drives nutrients, especially thiamine, from the bran into the grain, so that parboiled white rice is 80% nutritionally similar to brown rice.
