Nutritionally superior parboiled rice with golden hue, sourced from India's finest rice fields. Exported worldwide with strict quality control.
Discover the nutritionally superior rice that retains more vitamins and minerals through the parboiling process
IR-64 Parboiled Rice is created through a specialized steam-pressure process that drives nutrients from the bran into the endosperm before milling. This ancient technique, perfected with modern technology, results in rice that's nutritionally superior to regular milled rice while maintaining excellent cooking qualities.
At Lavan Agro, we source premium IR-64 paddy from the fertile regions of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where ideal climate conditions produce rice with optimal starch content for parboiling. Our state-of-the-art parboiling units use precise temperature and pressure controls to ensure consistent quality batch after batch.
The parboiling process gives our IR-64 rice its characteristic golden hue and firmer texture when cooked. It becomes less sticky than regular rice, making it perfect for biryanis, pulao, and other dishes where separate grains are desired. The process also extends shelf life and reduces breakage during milling.
Premium quality, nutritional benefits, and reliable supply chain
Our parboiling process retains up to 80% of the natural vitamins and minerals (especially B vitamins) that are lost in regular milling. The rice has higher fiber content and lower glycemic index.
Compliant with international food safety standards including APEDA, FSSAI, and destination country requirements. Our processing units are HACCP certified and meet EU/US FDA regulations.
Grains remain separate and firm after cooking, perfect for biryanis and pulao. Less sticky than regular rice with excellent water absorption (1:2.5 rice to water ratio).
The science behind our nutritionally superior rice
Paddy soaked in hot water (65-70°C) for 6-8 hours to hydrate grains
High-pressure steaming gelatinizes starch and drives nutrients inward
Grains dried to 12-14% moisture for stable storage
Modern milling preserves grain integrity with ≤5% breakage
Vacuum-packed for freshness in export-ready packaging
Why our customers prefer IR-64 parboiled rice
Retains up to 80% of water-soluble B vitamins (thiamine, niacin) compared to 30-40% in regular milled rice. Higher in fiber and minerals like calcium and potassium.
Grains remain separate and firm after cooking. Less likely to become mushy or sticky. Absorbs flavors well while maintaining texture. Ideal for fried rice and biryanis.
Longer shelf life (up to 2 years) due to reduced oil content. Less prone to insect infestation. Higher milling yield with less breakage (≤5%).
Lower glycemic index (GI 38 vs 73 for white rice) makes it better for diabetics. Higher resistant starch content supports gut health. Gluten-free and easily digestible.
