the rice has a natural appearance both before and after cooking; the individual grains of said rice are undistorted when viewed by the naked eye; the individual grains of said rice have a plurality of microfissures on a portion of their surface; and the water absorption of said rice after immersion in excess water at 100°C for 10 minutes is greater than 230% based on the weight of the uncooked rice,
said method comprising the steps of: providing parboiled brown rice at a substantially uniform moisture content of from 19% to 30% by weight; milling said parboiled brown rice having a moisture content of from 19% to 30% by weight to remove the bran therefrom in order to generate transverse surface microfissures in the individual grains without substantial plastic deformation of the individual grains; and drying the parboiled rice to microbiological stability to result in said quick-cooking rice.
