Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken
Description
Overview
Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken (A-1 Super) is the most fully fragmented grade in our parboiled rice line — every grain in this specification is broken rather than whole, which makes it the most economical parboiled option we export. We're one of the established manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers of Thai parboiled rice, and this grade ships worldwide to buyers whose priority is volume and price per tonne rather than intact grain appearance.
The rice starts from the same paddy and goes through the same soak-steam-dry parboiling process as our other grades — the light golden color and firm, non-sticky texture come from that process, not from being a lower-quality crop. What sets this grade apart is simply that it's sorted to allow fully broken grains throughout, rather than only a percentage of them.
What "100% Broken" Means
Unlike our 5%, 15%, or 25% broken grades, which allow only a partial share of fragmented grains, this specification is entirely broken-grain rice. It's a distinct product category in the rice trade, purpose-built for buyers who don't need grain length or appearance at all — food manufacturers, brewers, and animal feed producers, among others, where the rice is ground, cooked into another product, or used as an ingredient rather than served on its own.

How It's Used
Because it's fully broken, this grade isn't typically cooked and served as a standalone side dish the way whole-grain rice is. Instead, it's ground into flour, used as a brewing adjunct, mixed into animal and poultry feed formulations, or cooked into porridge and congee — traditional dishes where broken grain texture is expected and welcomed rather than a drawback.
Packaging
We pack Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken in 25kg and 50kg woven polypropylene bags built for export durability. Custom packaging and labeling are available for businesses buying under their own brand — send your requirements when you request a quote.
Nutrition
Parboiling pushes vitamins and minerals from the bran into the grain's core before milling, so this grade retains meaningful nutritional value despite being fully broken. It's primarily carbohydrate, naturally gluten-free, and a practical protein-and-energy component in animal feed formulations as well as human food applications.

Why Buyers Choose the 100% Broken Grade
Price is the entire reason this grade exists — Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken is the least expensive parboiled specification we offer, because it skips the sorting and grading steps that separate whole grains from fragments in our other lines. For buyers whose end use doesn't depend on grain length, that's a straightforward cost saving with no drop in the properties that actually matter for their application.
Food manufacturers grinding rice into flour, breweries using rice as a fermentation adjunct, and animal feed producers all buy this grade specifically because appearance is irrelevant to their process and cost per tonne is what drives the purchasing decision.
Quality Control
Every batch goes through sortex cleaning and testing for moisture, foreign matter, and damaged kernels before it's approved for packing. We source from established rice-growing regions in Thailand and process with modern parboiling and milling equipment, and all export shipments meet standard international food safety documentation requirements.
Common Uses
Rice flour and starch production
Brewing and fermentation as an adjunct grain
Poultry feed, cattle feed, and general animal feed formulation
Traditional porridge and congee preparation
Distillery use
Who Buys This Rice
Food manufacturers and processors using broken rice as a raw ingredient
Animal feed production companies
Breweries and distilleries
Importers and wholesale distributors buying by volume rather than grain appearance
Storage Guidelines
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Keep in original sealed packaging until ready to use
Transfer to an airtight container once opened
Protect from moisture and pests, particularly in humid climates
Properly stored, this grade keeps for 12 to 24 months, with parboiling's hardened grain structure giving it reasonably forgiving shelf-life characteristics.
Bulk Supply and Export

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 100% broken rice suitable for human consumption?
Yes — it's commonly used in porridge, congee, and other traditional dishes where broken grain texture is standard, alongside food manufacturing and animal feed applications.
How does this compare to your other parboiled grades?
Cooking properties and nutrition are essentially unchanged from our other parboiled grades — the difference is that every grain here is broken rather than a percentage. That makes it the most economical option in the line.
Can I order a sample before committing to bulk?
Yes, samples are available so you can check quality before placing a larger order.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we export globally by sea and air freight and manage export documentation on our end.

Where This Rice Comes From
Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken is sourced from established rice-growing regions across Thailand, using the same long-grain paddy varieties as our other parboiled grades — the difference comes entirely from milling and sorting, not different source material. Harvest follows the standard Thai rice calendar, running roughly from November through January, and we buy on a rolling basis through the season to keep export stock available year-round.
Market Demand for Fully Broken Grades
Global demand for 100% broken parboiled rice comes primarily from industrial buyers — flour mills, feed producers, breweries, and distilleries — for whom grain appearance is simply not a factor in the purchasing decision. In these markets, fully broken rice is a completely standard commodity grade, priced and traded on its own terms rather than treated as a lesser version of whole-grain rice.
Distributors serving food processing and animal feed sectors typically stock this grade specifically because it matches what their industrial customers need at the lowest achievable cost per tonne.
Pricing Factors
Pricing for this grade tracks the same broad market factors as our other parboiled rice — seasonal crop yield, global shipping costs, and order volume all play a role, with larger orders and repeat business consistently earning better per-unit pricing than smaller one-off purchases. Because this is the most broken specification we offer, it also tends to be the most price-stable option in our parboiled line, since a wide range of milling output qualifies for the grade.
Export Documentation
Every international shipment includes standard export paperwork — certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and commercial invoice — handled on our end as a matter of course. If your country's import process requires additional documentation, such as a specific lab report or fumigation certificate, let us know before you place the order so we can confirm we can meet that requirement.
Working With Us as a Regular Supplier
Buyers purchasing this grade regularly — particularly feed manufacturers, breweries, and food processors — often move to a standing order arrangement once they've confirmed quality and consistency across a few shipments. We can set up regular order schedules, agree on pricing that holds for a defined period, and time shipments around your production cycle, which reduces the administrative overhead of placing individual orders each time stock runs low.
More Frequently Asked Questions
Is fully broken rice lower quality than whole-grain rice?
No — it's the same crop and parboiling process, sorted differently. Fully broken rice is a standard, widely traded commodity grade in its own right, not a defective or substandard product.
Can this rice be blended with other grades?
We generally ship each specification separately to keep labeling and quality consistent, but talk to us about your specific requirement if blending fits your production process.
Do you provide documentation for customs clearance?
Yes — standard export documentation is included with every shipment, and additional paperwork is available on request depending on your country's import requirements.
What's your minimum order quantity?
We handle both moderate trial orders and full container loads — tell us your target volume and we'll quote accordingly.

How This Grade Compares Across Our Parboiled Rice Line
We offer Thai parboiled rice across a full range of broken-grain specifications, from the near-whole-grain 5% broken grade through 15%, 25%, and fully broken 100%. That range exists because different buyers need genuinely different things from the same underlying rice — a retail brand selling bagged rice with a visible grain window wants the lowest broken percentage it can justify on cost, while a flour mill or feed producer cares only about price per tonne and total nutritional content.
Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken sits at the far end of that range, and it's the grade we'd recommend to any buyer whose process grinds, cooks down, or otherwise breaks up the rice anyway — there's no reason to pay for grain integrity you won't use.
A Practical Guide to Choosing a Broken-Grain Percentage
If you're deciding between our parboiled rice grades, the key question is simple: does your end use depend on intact, visible grains at any point? If customers will see the rice on a plate or through packaging, choose a lower broken percentage. If the rice is being milled into flour, mixed into feed, added to a brew kettle, or cooked down into porridge, 100% broken delivers identical nutritional and functional value at the lowest price point in our range.
We're happy to talk through your specific application directly rather than leaving you to guess — tell us what the rice is for and we'll recommend the grade that actually fits, rather than simply quoting whatever you ask for.
Consistency Across Batches
Even at 100% broken, quality control still matters — moisture, foreign matter, and damaged kernel content are tested on every batch before packing, so the grade stays within specification shipment after shipment. Being fully broken doesn't mean the rice is unsorted or untested; it simply means grain length isn't part of the specification.
Sustainability in Sourcing
We source this grade from the same farms and mills as our other parboiled rice products, prioritizing suppliers who manage land and water responsibly where sourcing allows for that choice. Consistent, fair purchasing relationships with growers season over season is part of how we maintain quality and reliable supply, rather than chasing the cheapest available source for each individual order.
Final Thoughts for Buyers Comparing Suppliers
If you're evaluating more than one supplier for Thai Parboiled Rice 100% Broken, ask specifically about sortex processing and batch testing practices, not just quoted price — a supplier who tests every batch and can speak clearly to their process is more likely to deliver a product that performs consistently in your production line.
