The effect of immature grains on quality
Immature grains are very slender, have a chalky
appearance, and do not survive the milling process very well. If paddy
rice contains a high percentage of immature grains, milling will create
excessive bran, broken grains, and brewer's rice.
 |
| Broken rice - Paddy rice that contains a high percentage of immature grains will break during milling. |
