History Of Rice General Information
Rice is a seed of the grass species Oryza Sativa and is the the most consumed staple food in Asia. It's agricultural commodity is the third highest in the world after sugarcane and maize. Rice is a monocot, in tropical regions it can produce crops for over 30 years. Rice cultivation is suitable for countries with low labor costs and high annual rainfall. It can grow on mountain slopes and hills as well.
The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while, or after, setting the young seedlings. This simple method requires sound planning and servicing of the water damming and channeling, but reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged growth state, and deters vermin.
Rice is a major food staple and a mainstay for the rural population and their food security. It is mainly cultivated by small farmers in holdings of less than 1 hectare. Rice is also a wage commodity for workers in the cash crop or non-agricultural sectors. Rice is vital for the nutrition of much of the population in Asia, as well as in Latin America and the Caribbean and in Africa; it is central to the food security of over half the world population.
Majority of all Rice produced comes from China, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan, Korea, Philippines and Japan which accounts for 87% of world rice production. China and India combined produces 49% of total rice production. Last year in 2016/2017 the world produced 484.1 Million metric tonnes (MT) of rice.
Processing
The seeds of rice plants are first milled; removing the chaff or outer husks of the grain. After this process it is then known as Brown Rice. Further removal of the bran (rest of the husk and germ) creates the traditional white rice which keeps like her but lacks the important nutrients that are removed during the milled processing.
By hand or in a Rice polisher, white rice can be buffed using glucose or talc powder, parboiled or processed into flour. The Rice can also be enriched using supplements of nutrients which are lost during the milled process. Parboiled rice is after the first process of removing chaff and steaming or parboiling the brown rice grain. This process results in a gelatinization of the starch in the grains which makes the rice less brittle. After drying the rice, it may be milled or used as brown rice. Milled parboiled rice has better nutritional value than standard milled rice, as the nutrients from the outer husks move into the endosperm. Raw rice can be grounded to produce rice flour; which has a variety of uses from beverages to food consumption.
