Nutritional benefits and Significance of Rice
Rice Processing
The process begins as soon as rice arrives from the fields. Foremost, whole or paddy rice is dehisced by a rubber roll Sheller to produce brown rice. The outer tough protective coating is removed having no effect on the nutritional composition of the grain within the husk.
The resultant brown rice can be further milled to produce white rice. Milling of brown rice involves removal of the outer bran layers of the grain which are darker in color and are rich in nutrients such as B vitamins.
The procured rice from the fields is either parboiled through the hydrothermal procedure or processed in the milling facility as shown in the chart above. The specifications of rice vary from the type of polishing such as double-polish, silky polish or regular polish that gives rice grains a cleaner, brighter and shiny look. The average grain length (AGL) is also specified before rice being milled. Rice processing also entails the broken percentage which may be 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 100% broken or as desired by the buyer.
Nutritional benefits and Significance
Rice has been found to be very easy to digest. It is low in fat, low in cholesterol, high in starch and has a high nutritional content.
Rice is also an excellent source of energy. It comprises 77.5% carbohydrate. Carbohydrate is one of the human body’s two main sources of energy, the second being fat.
Rice also contains a range of important nutrients, including B and E vitamins, protein and minerals –especially potassium which helps the body reduce toxins.
Moreover, rice is basically important to a range of cultures that it is often directly associated with affluence and much legends and fable surrounds the grain. Children are also served with rice as their first solid food. And, according to Louisiana folklore, the test of a true Cajun is whether he can calculate the precise quantity of gravy needed to accompany a crop of rice growing in a field.
Hence, from its early beginnings to the present day, rice continues to play an integral role in sustaining both the world's appetites and cultural traditions.

The plantation process of rice necessitates a prolonged torrential rain in the early stages which is pursued by an incessant period of scorching dry climatic conditions. It is harvested by hand with delicate care, aged to perfection and then processed.
Rice Processing
The process begins as soon as rice arrives from the fields. Foremost, whole or paddy rice is deliquesced by a rubber roll Sheller to produce brown rice. The outer tough protective coating is removed having no effect on the nutritional composition of the grain within the husk.
