Agrino Parboiled, or pre-cooked rice, is an excellent quality Greek long grain rice that always remains ‘grainy’. It is cultivated in the delta of the Aliakmons and Axios rivers. It is parboiled and gets its yellowish color from its outer skin during processing. Parboiled is the method of hydrothermal processing where the rice grain is immersed in hot water and steam, resulting in all its nutrients being dispersed inside the grain, while making the rice even tastier and fuller. Ideal for pilaf.
