Our Rice Processing Journey
Rice Milling Process
Understanding how rice is processed begins with the milling stage. Rice consists of approximately 20% hull, 11% bran layers and 69% starchy endosperm. During milling, the outer husk is carefully removed while preserving the grain's nutritional value and quality as much as possible.
The paddy first passes through an indent cylinder, where undersized grains are separated from whole grains. The rice then moves through carefully controlled milling operations that remove the husk and bran layers while minimising broken kernels. Whole grains continue for grading, polishing and quality inspection before packaging, while by-products such as husk, bran and broken rice are utilised efficiently in secondary applications.
Our advanced rice milling process is designed to maximise yield while preserving the natural characteristics, texture and flavour of every grain.
Parboiled Rice Processing
Approximately 50% of our total production consists of parboiled rice, one of Kerala's most preferred rice varieties.
Our parboiled rice processing method follows three essential stages:
• Soaking
• Steaming
• Drying
This controlled process improves grain strength, enhances nutritional retention and produces rice with its distinctive texture and cooking characteristics.
Every stage is carefully monitored to maintain product consistency while reducing environmental impact through responsible water management.
