Product processing

- THE RICE BEAN

Rice is a cereal that in order to be considered edible, that is to say edible and digestible by humans, must be "processed". In fact, in its natural state, that is, after harvesting and drying it is covered by its "skin" (called husk). This husk has a vegetable composition similar to wood, and therefore not digestible by our digestive system.

- THE HULLING

So the first thing to do is remove the skin from the grain, "discovering" just under the grain of rice, which at this stage of processing is integral (also called husked) and is already edible, as the grain is composed of a starchy heart (which is the white grain) and a surface layer (which we can compare to wheat bran) very rich in nutrients, such as mineral salts, fiber, vitamins and oil. The oil contained in this surface layer gives brown rice its classic yellowish brown color.
