To deliver premium rice products, we start by selecting top-quality rice from trusted sources. The first step in our process is to wash the rice thoroughly to eliminate any impurities and residual husk, ensuring it is clean and ready for further processing. Next, we steam the rice to soften the grains and enhance their texture, which improves both the cooking quality and the final taste. After steaming, the rice is ground in our facility to achieve a specific texture that meets our high standards. This grinding process is meticulously controlled to ensure consistency and quality. Once ground, the rice is roasted to develop a deeper flavor and improve its shelf stability. Finally, the roasted rice is packaged in sealed, high-quality materials to maintain its freshness and protect it from environmental factors, ensuring that our customers receive a superior product every time.
