Mr A Red Rice

The process that produces this unpolished red rice known as whole grain of rice has several layers. Only the outermost layer, the hull, is removed to produce what we call unpolished red rice. This process is the least damaging to the nutritional value of the red rice and avoids the unnecessary loss of nutrients that occurs with further processing. Unpolished red rice has a very good source of essential minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber.
In producing and labeling it as Supreme Red Rice, the rice initially must be given time for ageing before any process commences. The process has to undergo stringent control such as by using de-stoner and magnet facilities to eliminate the presence of tiny stones and metal fragments. Further, color sorter is used to remove grain impurities.
Marketed in its producer brand as “MR.A” Supreme Red Rice.
