Rice Paddy | 100kg

Description

A Rice Paddy refers to the field or plot where rice is cultivated under submerged or waterlogged conditions. However, It typically refers to a bulk quantity of harvested rice grains that are still in their husks (also known as paddy rice).

Here’s an overview of the product:

Overview

Description:

• • It is the unprocessed form of rice, consisting of the grain with its protective outer husk still intact. The husk is removed during the milling process to produce polished or white rice.
  • This bulk quantity of 100kg is typically used for further processing, either for commercial purposes or for milling into edible rice.

Characteristics of Rice Paddy:

• Grain Type: The type of rice grain can vary depending on the variety. Common types include long-grain, medium-grain, and short-grain paddy rice.
• Moisture Content: The moisture content of the rice is crucial for its quality. Typically, It is harvested at a moisture content of around 20-25%, but it must be dried to around 14% for safe storage.
• Husked and Unpolished: Since paddy rice still has its outer husk, it is not yet polished or processed into consumable rice. After milling, it can be turned into white rice, brown rice, or other forms.

Uses:

• • Milling: It can be sent to a mill to remove the husk and bran layers, yielding polished or white rice. A typical milling process removes around 20-30% of the weight as bran and husk.
  • Livestock Feed: The husks and bran removed during milling can be used as animal feed or for other agricultural applications.
  • Seed: Paddy rice can also be used for planting purposes, particularly if it’s high-quality, certified seed.

Yield:

• • The yield of polished rice after milling is typically about 60-70kg. The remaining weight consists of husk and bran.

Storage:

• • Paddy rice must be stored in dry, cool conditions to prevent mold or deterioration. Proper storage conditions ensure a longer shelf life before milling.

Nutritional Value (for the final product):

• • • Carbohydrates: Rice is rich in carbohydrates, serving as a primary energy source in many diets.
    • Protein: Rice contains moderate amounts of protein.
    • Vitamins and Minerals: Brown rice, which retains the bran layer, is rich in vitamins such as B-complex and minerals like magnesium and manganese.
