Broken Rice
Broken rice refers to rice grains that have fractured during the milling process. It’s not a different variety of rice—just regular rice that didn’t make it out in whole grains. Despite the name, it’s just as nutritious as whole rice and has a few unique advantages in texture, cooking time, and price.
Appearance:
The grains are shorter and uneven—sometimes looking like small chips or fragments.
Texture & Taste:
Broken rice tends to be softer and creamier when cooked, and it absorbs flavors beautifully. It cooks faster than whole grain rice, making it perfect for certain dishes.
