IR 64 Long-Grain Rice (Parboiled & White)

India's volume long-grain rice, and the staple of West African kitchens.

IR 64

Parboiled rice is India's largest rice export by volume, and IR 64 is the long-grain variety most of it is milled from. It ships in large volumes to West Africa (India's top non-basmati destinations include Benin, Guinea, Togo and Côte d'Ivoire) and to South Asia. Supplied parboiled or raw white, sortexed, in 5%, 15% or 25% broken grades.

Characteristics

  • Long grain
  • Parboiled grains stay separate and firm
  • Neutral flavour that takes on sauces well

Popular dishes

  • Jollof rice
  • Thieboudienne
  • Fried rice
  • Rice with stews

Nutrition & health notes

  • Naturally gluten-free
  • Parboiling drives B-vitamins from the bran into the grain, so parboiled rice keeps more thiamine than raw milled rice
