After harvest:
Subsequent to the harvest, the rice’s grain undergoes a number of different processes in order prepare it for commercial use.
Drying out the grain is the process that reduces the moisture content, to a safe level for storing. Drying is said to be the most critical operation carried out after first harvesting a rice crop. Any delays in drying or an ineffective drying procedure will reduce the grains quality.
Storing the grain is then done in an attempt the grain that would otherwise have been lost to moisture, rodents, weather, birds, insects, and micro organisms.
Milling is then the final step in the post-production of rice. This last phase leads us to the rice that we all know on our supermarket shelves. The objective of a rice milling system in simple is to remove the husk and the bran layers of the grain. (Unless brown rice is wanted) The result? An edible, white rice kernel free of impurities and ready to eat!
