== == The preparation of rice has traditionally been a cooking process which requires attention to ensure the rice is cooked properly. Rice cookers simplify the process by automatically controlling the heat and timing, while at the same time freeing up a heating element on the range. Although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process, the cook's involvement in cooking rice with a rice cooker is reduced to simply using the correct amount of water. Once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked with no further attention.
Typically, a rice cooker contains an insulated outer container containing a heating element, into which is fitted an inner removable bowl, which is sometimes non-stick or Teflon-coated, which often has graduations marked in cupsof rice (white). Whereas less expensive and older models use simple electronics and mechanical and thermal sensors, high-end rice cookers use microprocessors with fuzzy logic to control the cooking process [1] and often incorporate a timer which can be used to set the desired "ready time". Many rice cookers can keep rice warm safely for up to 24 hours. This helps to avoid the dangers of food poisoning due to ''Bacillus cereus. New rice cookers normally include a small measuring cup, and a plastic paddlefor serving the cooked rice. The rice cup measure is normally 180 ml, approximately 25% smaller than the western measuring cup of 8 (US) fluid ounces / 250 ml.'' Restaurants that serve a lot of rice, particularly those specializing in Asian cuisine, often use industrial size rice cookers that quickly and cheaply produce large quantities of cooked rice. A rice cooker is a standard appliance in kitchens in many Asian countries and in many Asian households; indeed a recent survey showed that over 95% of Japanese kitchens feature such a device[2]. === ===
Rice is formed when seeds from the rice plant are sown and grown in flooded fields. The plant grows and produces grains of rice within about 3-6 months, which are then harvested, processed, and prepared for consumption.
Rice can be separated from water by using a strainer or a colander. Simply pour the rice and water mixture into the strainer, and the water will drain out, leaving the rice behind.
No, rice is not a lipid. Lipids are a group of molecules that include fats, oils, and waxes, while rice is a carbohydrate-rich cereal grain. Lipids are hydrophobic, whereas rice is mainly composed of starch and water.
To separate rice from wax, you can use a process called solvent extraction. This involves dissolving the wax in a solvent that the rice does not dissolve in. Once the wax is dissolved, it can be separated from the rice by filtering or evaporating the solvent.
Cooked rice is a not homogeneous mixture (contain two phases, water liquid and rice solid)..
Most cereal comes from wheat, which is processed into cereal. In rice-based cereal, its either processed or puffed rice. So its either wheat or rice.
No, it's a grain just less processed than white rice is.
Paddy refers to unhusked rice plants in the field, while rice is the edible grain that comes from the paddy after processing. Once paddy is harvested and processed, it becomes what we commonly refer to as rice, which can be further processed into different types such as brown or white rice.
In this market, use in cereal has long been the highest, making up 44 percent of the processed food division. Other noteworthy processed foods containing rice include candy bars, soups, and crackers
Due to brown rice only having its hull removed ( the hull being the outermost layer of the rice ) it maintains many of the nutrients that are lost in white rice when it is being fully processed. It has been shown to have far higher levels of Manganese than processed white rice. Manganese helps produce energy from proteins and carbohydrates
Depends on whether it has been processed/polished or not. White rice has been processed and can no longer germinate (grow into a new plant) so it will simply rot in whatever place the wind has carried it. If it is an unprocessed grain of rice it is possible that wherever it lands, if it has enough water and nutrients, it will grow into a new rice plant.
processed rice is where the factory takes out all of the nutrients and use a chemical to cahnge the color of the rice. whole wheat rice/Brown rice is where they do not process it and they leave the essential nutrients that rice has.

Brown rice was not invented. Brown rice is a product of milling rice without polishing off the natural rice bran layer. Only the husk is removed. Rice bran is normally brown in color. Some varieties of rice have black, violet or red bran layers therefore are called as such. Ancient people ate brown rice because the polisher wasn't invented yet and rice was kept in the husk and processed only before eating . Today millions of tons of rice are processed into white rice. Why? Brown rice spoils in 6 months because of the oil in the bran. If you don't keep them in the husk they oxidize.
The main differences between the two forms of rice are how they are refined or processed and the nutritional content. When only the husk is removed from rice, brown rice is produced. In white rice the bran and germ layers are also removed
To make brown rice from white rice, you can simply leave the rice unprocessed and unpolished. Brown rice is whole grain rice that still has the bran and germ intact, while white rice has been processed to remove the bran and germ. So, to make brown rice from white rice, you can choose to cook the white rice without removing the bran and germ, which will result in brown rice.
Rice grains come from the seeds of the rice plant, known as Oryza sativa. These seeds are sown in fields where they grow into plants that produce the rice grains we consume. Harvested rice grains have an outer hull that needs to be removed before they are processed and consumed as food.
Rice is the seed of the rice plant it is a cereal grain like wheat and maize. The white rice many people eat has been processed the outer layers have been removed. White rice, which keeps longer, lacks some important nutrients, brown rice is more nutritious.
