Ponni rice, especially when parboiled, can be nutritionally advantageous compared to some regular polished rice. Parboiling drives nutrients from the bran into the grain, helping retain more vitamins and minerals. However, overall healthiness also depends on portion size, accompaniments and your total daily diet and lifestyle.

Ponni rice is a specific variety, while raw rice is a general term for rice that has not been parboiled. Ponni rice can be available as both raw and parboiled. The parboiled version has a firmer texture and better nutrient retention, whereas raw Ponni cooks softer and slightly quicker.

Ponni rice, particularly the parboiled type, may have a relatively lower glycaemic impact than some highly polished white rice, but it is still a carbohydrate-rich food. People with diabetes should control portion sizes, pair it with fibre- and protein-rich dishes and follow their doctor or dietitian’s personalized advice.
