TYPE OF RICE

There are numerous varieties of rice found across the globe however they generally fall into three categories as below.

LONG GRAIN RICE

Long-grain rice has a slim kernel about four or five times longer than its width. Typical length varies between 6 to 9 millimeters. They are light and remain separated when cooked.

MEDIUM GRAIN RICE

Medium-grain rice has a kernel about three times longer than its width, measuring between 6 to 4 millimetres. They tend to stick together when cooked.

 

SHORT GRAIN RICE

Short-grain rice has a fat short kernel with high starch content. They cook up soft and sticky.

 

FORM OF RICE

Rice is available in a variety of forms. While it is not edible in its rough form, it has to be processed and milled to get the desired form of rice.

 

Brown: Commonly known as milled or Brown rice, this variety has its inedible outer hull removed. Brown rice gets its color and texture from the bran layer that remains intact on it post hulling process.

 

Raw: Commonly known as white rice, it is the most common form of rice. It has the outer husk removed which alters its color and texture, while increasing its storage life.

Steam: Steamed rice is a different form of rice which is produced by soaking the grains in water and then treating them with hot steam.

Parboiled: Parboiled rice is the rice that has been partially boiled in the husk to increase the nutritional value of the grain. Parboiled rice is a better source of fiber, calcium, potassium and vitamin B-6 than regular white rice. It also helps in reducing the cooking time.

MILLING PROCESS IN DIFFERENT FORMS OF RICE

Rice in its basic form is known as “rough rice” and is still covered by a non-edible hull or husk. At the mill, rough rice is processed differently to get the desired form of rice.
