Golden Rice is a genetically modified rice variety whose grains possess a golden-yellow color due to a high beta-carotene content. Morphologically, the plants may differ from parent varieties by paler leaves, as well as varying height and yield.
In the commercial segment, the "Golden" label most often denotes not a biological variety, but conventional rice that has undergone a parboiling process or steam treatment under pressure. As a result of such processing, the grains acquire an amber-golden hue, become more durable, maintain their shape better during cooking, and are less prone to sticking together.
