Other than arsenic, there is something else in the rice you eat! If you were to buy rice from a farm that has no idea whatsoever of what they are doing, then you may find rice bugs. They won't cause any harm for the consumer, but never the less.... It's still gross. The larvae grows in rice, and hatches out when fully grown. Although they might be in your rice, they die as soon as you cook your rice, considering they die above 60 degrees celsius.
Arsenic is commonly found in rice, a harmless chemical, only when consumed at small sizes. But when consumed daily, it can cause many side affects. One deadly side effect is skin, lung, bladder and kidney cancer. It may also change give you many other skin diseases.
Hulling:
Hulling can be done by hand by rolling or grinding the rough rice between stones. However, more often it is processed at a mill with the help of automated processes.
Once clean, the rice is hulled by a machine that acts like the action of the handheld stones. The shelling machine loosens the hulls from the rice by rolling them between two sheets of metal coated with abrasives. 80-90% of the kernel hulls are removed during this process. White rice is conveyed to a brewers reel, where glucose is added. Sometimes, white rice is stripped it's vitamins right out of the grains during the process.
Drying:
Before milling, rice grains must be dried in order to decrease the moisture content to between 18-22%.
Flow Chart For Rice
Preparation:
If the rice will be grown on a hilly terrain, the area must be leveled into terraces.
Harvesting:
Once the plants have reached full growth (approximately three months after planting) and the grains begin to ripen—the tops begin to droop and the stem yellows—the water is drained from the fields. As the fields dry, the grains ripen further and harvesting is commenced.
Planting:
1: Rice seeds are soaked before planting.
Asian countries that haven't mechanized their farms for some time plant their seeds by hand, while farms in other countries use machines to plant and pick their rice. After 30-50 days of growth, the rice is picked. In some farms farmers use pesticides to keep rice bugs from infecting their rice, and to keep the rice clean.
