Variation in arsenic and nutritional levels between different parboiling methods
The article mentions that parboiling increases the nutritional content of rice. A study featured on Phys.org seems to suggest that parboiling also increases the levels of inorganic arsenic. I'm leaving the link to the article here for anyone else to pick up and merge the information into the wiki article: https://phys.org/news/2019-04-parboiling-method-inorganic-arsenic-rice.html --MagnusOxlund (talk) 13:27, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

The article states, without giving a reference, that parboiled rice takes less time to cook. It actually takes more time. Only puffed "instant" rice takes less time but that is another different process 2800:A4:3AB:2C00:9096:6828:9F1A:20C9 (talk) 20:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
