Rice And Its Different Types

Rice is one of the most important crops in not only India but the whole world. Countries with huge population like India and China are heavily reliant on rice to feed the insatiable hunger. Rice is easily grown across the globe as it is adaptable to most types of climates.

Rice is one of the most important crops in not only India but the whole world. Countries with huge populations like India and China are heavily reliant on rice to feed the insatiable hunger. Different types of Rice are grown across the globe as it is adaptable to most types of climates. What’s more, rice is an excellent source of carbohydrates which in turn are an excellent source of energy.

Majorly, rice is classified into three types in India i.e. White Rice, Brown Rice and Basmati Rice. Follows an informative categorical description of these types:

White Rice:

White rice is a product of rice milling and polishing, which is why it gets white in the first place. But the polishing and milling remove a good fraction of vitamins and nutrients in from the rice. Hence, this type of rice needs to be treated with certain vitamins and nutrients after the Process of Rice Milling. Once fortified with essential nutrients, white rice is good to go and is quite beneficial to health.

White Rice is good for health in the following ways:

  1. It is a good source of protein. 300 grams of white rice contains 10 grams of proteins.
  2. Carbohydrates provide energy to the human body and white rice is all about carbohydrates and starch.
  3. White rice is much easier to digest when compared to other types of rice. This particular trait makes white rice suitable for infants and even older ones.

Brown Rice:

Brown rice is not deprived of essential nutrients, in fact, it is a great source of high-quality nutrients. Though it is not widely used since it is much costlier than white rice.

Brown Rice is good for health in the following ways:

  1. Brown rice is high in vitamins and minerals. In the case of Brown rice is of a very high order.
  2. Brown rice has soluble fiber in it which assists in reducing the percentage of cholesterol in human blood.
  3. Unlike White rice, Brown rice takes time while digestion. This makes it last longer and provide energy for longer yet controlled periods.

Basmati Rice:

Basmati rice is a hybrid kind of rice. It can be brown or white in color depending on the milling process. This type of rice is widely consumed and is a real home favorite.

  • Basmati rice is longer in length. It looks good and gives a royal feel to the meal being prepared.
  • Basmati rice has a particular aroma along with it, which adds to the taste of the rice in a positive way. This aroma is imparted to Basmati rice with the help of a chemical called 2-acetyl-1-pyrrolysine.

These are the three commercial types of rice available in the market for general consumption.

Flour Milling Process

Flour is the finely ground powdered material obtained from food crops like wheat, corns, and pulses. Wheat flour is the most common and is used in the production of bread. The dough is prepared from the wheat flour and is used to bake pieces of bread out of it. Dough prepared from the flour contains gluten which is enriched in proteins.

What is Flour?

Flour is the finely ground powdered material obtained from food crops like wheat, corns, and pulses. Wheat flour is the most common and is used in the production of bread. The dough is prepared from wheat flour and is used to bake pieces of bread out of it. Dough prepared from the flour contains gluten which is enriched in proteins. It is gluten where gases produced from yeast and other bacteria make the dough fluffy and eventually softer.

 

Process of Flour Milling And Grinding 

 In ancient times grinding was done by sliding rocks with wheat in between. It was a great technology for that time period. Thankfully, we have the much better technology to serve us today. Let us divide this section into subheadings to go into details of Flour Milling:

  • Cleaning the Wheat – The wheat obtained from the fields is not in the best of conditions and it is obligatory to clean it thoroughly before any other thing. There is a device called separator that does the job here as it removes the unwanted particles and adulterations from the raw material. Then there are aspirators which aim at removing minute particles which are much lighter than wheat grains.

 

  • Preparing the Raw Material – Once the cleaning phase is over, we can proceed further to prepare the raw material for grinding purposes. Here the wheat is dried to make sure that extra moisture is taken care of. Also, wheat is sometimes conditioned with hot water or cold water treatments. Conditioning helps in improving the quality of the raw materials.

 

  • Grinding – This is the real action; here the raw material is ground to make a powder out of the wheat grains. First of all, all types of grains are blended well to form a batch of the raw material.

 

Now, this batch is introduced to two big rollers which are ready to crush each grain into powder. These rollers are called breaker rolls. With the help of filters, the powder is collected according to their particles sizes. The finer particles with finest ones are collected at one place. With the help of vibrations, cleaning is done at this stage as well. Upon vibration, the lighter particles skip the heavier ones.

 

  • Processing – Now we have the flour with us, we just need to process it. In other words, this is the final touch before the flour is packed and dispatched. In this phase, bleaching and oxidizing agents are used to ensure good quality of the wheat flour.

These four stages sum up The Process of Flour Milling. Now the flour is ready to be used, rather baked into breads.
