Husked Rice:
(e.g. brown rice, cargo rice, or loonzain
rice) |
|
Husked Rice is the least processed form of rice. It has the
outer hull removed, but still
retains the bran layers and
germs are still intact. The bran
layers give this type of rice
its characteristic tan color and
nut-like flavor. The outside
layer of the bran gives this
rice a chewier texture than
white rice. |

Semi-Milled Rice |
|
Semi-milled rice is paddy rice
from which the husk part of the
germ and the whole or part of
the outer layers of the pericarp,
(outer layer) but not the inner
layers have been removed. This
type of rice is usually consumed
more by those who are health
conscious for the fact that at
this stage it retains more of
the bran. |

Wholly-milled Rice |
|
Rice from which the husk, the
germ and the whole of the outer
and inner layers of the pericarp,
have been removed, but in which
longitudinal white striations
may remain on not more than 10%
of the grains. |
