Value added product from Rice

Paddy is cleaned and graded to remove , impurities and then it is soaked in hot water for about 45 minutes. After drying it is roasted, to make flakes. These flakes are passed through sieves to remove uneven and unwanted, materials and to obtain flakes of fairly even size. Finally, they are packed in polythene bags.
During the process, yield of even sized flakes is around 80%, 10% is wastage and production loss and balance 10% is bran which has market.
