Rice in its original state is called "paddy rice". It is treated by polishing it to remove the outer part around the grain. It can be sold as whole grain, after the first stage of polishing, or as white rice if more polished.  Several grades of polishing exist.  Rice can also be parboiled, meaning it is partially boiled in its husk, to better retain micro-nutrients, especially vitamin B1 which prevents Beriberi. Parboiled rice is also referred to as " easy-cook rice" or " converted rice". When parboiled, the content of ungelatinized grains in the rice will be verified.
