Golden Parboiled Rice from Mexico
Golden Parboiled Rice is rice that has been soaked, steamed, and dried before milling, which gives it a golden tint and helps retain nutrients. It is semi-milled, meaning some bran remains, and falls under tariff item 1006.30.00 as semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether or not polished or glazed. The parboiling process does not remove it from this classification.
