## About <!--about-->
Converted is the parboiled long grain rice line of Ben's Original, sold as Uncle Ben's Converted before the 2020 rebrand; the pack prints "CONVERTED brand / marque" under the brand logo.[^off][^wp-bens] The name comes from Converted Rice, Inc., founded in 1942 to sell rice parboiled by the Huzenlaub process, a company Forrest Mars later merged into his food business.[^wp-bens]
