IR 64 Non Basmati Parboiled Rice
IR 64 Non-Basmati Parboiled Rice is a premium long-grain rice variety that has undergone a specialized hydrothermal treatment (soaking, steaming, and drying) before milling. This process ensures the retention of essential nutrients within the grain and results in a sturdy, non-sticky texture preferred in diverse cuisines. As a staple for millions, IR 64 is prized for its high volume expansion and affordability. Moonarc FZCO provides high-grade IR 64 sourced from prime agricultural regions, ensuring consistent grain length and purity for our global clientele.
