Btw is it just me or parboiled rice tastes much worse than regular rice? Granted I've been avoiding it like the plague in the last two decades, but I have some bad memories of how flavourless and weird-textured it was.

(And since I learned the trick of cooking rice in salty, olive-oily water that I wait to boil away/absorb, that's all I do, the end result tastes amazing compared those sad plastic bags of rice we cooked in my childhood.)
