I googled it

parbroiled rice (cos I was thinking to myself what the HECK is this?) is actually called \"converted rice\"

You can get \"uncle ben's converted rice \" from your local grocery store. Its in the rice section.

here's what this site says:

http://www.foodsubs.com/Rice.html

converted rice = parboiled rice Notes: This is a good compromise between nutritious brown rice and tender, fast-cooking white rice. Converted rice is steamed before it's husked, a process that causes the grains to absorb many of the nutrients from the husk. When cooked, the grains are more nutritious, firmer, and less clingy than white rice grains. Uncle Ben's is a well-known brand. Substitutes: brown rice (more nutritious, takes longer to cook) OR white rice (less nutritious, stickier, takes less time to cook

Well there is no such thing as "brown" converted rice..only converted which apparently is a medium between white and brown rice.

Hey when there can be so many 'brown' converted people (and par boiled can be similar to 'hot looking'), why not brown converted rice?
