Pre-cooked, ready-to-heat plain rice pouches are parboiled and then packaged for convenience. The parboiling drives nutrients into the grain, and the cooked-then-cooled process develops resistant starch. They are a practical, safe choice if reheated to piping hot throughout — the critical food safety step for pre-cooked rice.
Microwave or heat in a pan until piping hot throughout; never eat pre-cooked rice that has been reheated and then cooled again, as Bacillus cereus spores can multiply at room temperature.

Glycemic Index & Load
Low GI food — causes a slow, steady rise in blood sugar. Ideal for sustained energy, blood glucose control, and reducing insulin demand.
Glycemic Load (GL = GI × carbs ÷ 100) accounts for portion size. A high GL — keep portions modest.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
