1) The milling yield is higher and quality improved as there are fewer broken kernels
2) The preservation of parboiled paddy and milled rice is longer and better than in the raw state. Germination is no longer possible and the endosperm has a compact texture making it resistant to attack by insect and microorganism
3) The milled rice remains firm during cooking, and its texture becomes unstiky
4) A great amount of water is absorbed during cooking causing the rice to swell
5) Its nutritional value is enhanced due to the higher content in vitamins and minerals that have spread into the endosperm during the parboiling process
6) Soild materials are less in the cooking water
