The process of making rice from rice is a complex and delicate process, mainly including the following steps: 1. Preliminary preparation
Sowing: Select appropriate rice varieties for sowing under suitable seasons and soil conditions. Before sowing, seeds may need to be soaked or specially treated to promote germination.
Growth management: During the growth process of rice, appropriate light, water, and nutrients are required. Growers need to regularly weed, fertilize, and prevent pests and diseases to ensure the healthy growth of rice. 2、 Harvesting and Preliminary Processing
Harvesting: When the rice is ripe and the ears turn golden yellow, mechanized equipment is used for harvesting, cutting and collecting the entire plant.
Ear drying: Harvested rice plants should be placed in a well ventilated area for ear drying to evaporate excess water and allow the grains to dry properly. 3、 Rice processing
Threshing: After the rice grains are sun dried, they need to be threshed by separating them from the rice grains or straw to obtain complete rice grains.
Cleaning and Grading: Clean the rice grains to remove impurities and particles that do not meet specifications, and grade them as needed. 4、 Rice processing
Rice hulling: Put the cleaned rice into a rice huller for grinding, remove the outer shell and husk of the rice, and obtain brown rice.
Grinding and shelling: There is still a layer of hard crust on the surface of brown rice, which needs to be further processed by a grinding machine to remove this layer of hard crust and obtain white rice.
Selection and screening: Select and screen the milled white rice to remove residual impurities and particles that do not meet standards, ensuring the purity and quality of the rice.
Polishing: In order to improve the smoothness and freshness of rice grains, some rice will undergo polishing treatment, which uses friction to remove the floating bran on the surface of the rice grains. 5、 Packaging and Storage
Packaging: Processed rice will be packaged into different specifications and types of products, such as ordinary plastic bags, textile bags, vacuum, nitrogen filled packaging, etc., to meet different market demands.
Storage: Packaged rice should be stored in a dry, cool, and well ventilated place to maintain its freshness and quality.
The process of making rice from rice involves multiple links and steps, each of which requires meticulous operation and strict management to ensure the high quality and safety of the final product.
