About IR 64 Parboiled Rice 5% Broken

IR 64 Parboiled Rice is a renowned variety developed through IRRI (International Rice Research Institute), combining excellent grain quality, yield, and disease resistance. Parboiled rice undergoes a unique steaming process before milling, which improves its nutritional profile and texture.

The designation of "5% broken" indicates that only 5% of the grains are fractured or broken, ensuring a higher grade rice with predominantly whole kernels.

Typical Characteristics

• Grain Type: Long grain, moderately slender, with a slightly amber hue from parboiling.
• Texture: Firm, less sticky when cooked, ideal for multiple culinary preparations.
• Aroma: Mild and pleasant, retaining natural rice fragrance.
• Nutritional Content: Higher than regular white rice due to parboiling—enhanced vitamin B content, improved mineral retention, and greater fiber content.
• Broken Rice Percentage: 5%, maintaining high head rice yield and visual appeal.
• Moisture Content: Typically maintained below 14% for optimal storage and shelf life.

Production and Harvesting Process

IR 64 rice is cultivated predominantly in tropical regions with a favorable wet climate. After harvesting, the paddy undergoes parboiling — a process involving soaking, steaming, and drying. This method gelatinizes starch inside the grain, improving hardness and nutrients retention. The parboiled paddy is then milled to remove husk and bran layers, followed by grading to separate broken grains, ensuring only a 5% broken grain ratio.

Applications and Uses

IR 64 Parboiled Rice 5% Broken is versatile and widely used both in households and food service industries. Common uses include:

• Everyday cooked rice with fluffy, separate grains.
• Preparation of traditional Asian dishes, such as biryani, pilaf, and fried rice.
• Commercial catering and restaurants emphasizing quality and consistency.
• Rice flour production and other value-added rice products.
• Export markets valuing improved nutrition and long storage life.

Quality Standards and Packaging

The rice is sorted and inspected to comply with international food safety and quality regulations. The 5% broken standard ensures minimal grain damage, enhancing cooking quality and consumer satisfaction.

Packaging is commonly arranged in 25kg to 50kg woven polypropylene bags, suitable for bulk shipment and retail distribution. Proper sealed packaging protects against moisture, pests, and contamination during transportation.
