Hi, Converted rice is nothing but par boiled rice. It is prepared from conventional rice by partially boiling the rice. It helps in preserving 80% of nutrients unlike white rice in which most of the nutrients are lost due to polishing. Converted rice takes long time to get digested, hence the glucose released is slow. You can also go for brown rice which has lower G.I value. Hope this helps. Regards
