Paddy Boiling & Rice Processing – Inside M/S Eshal Rice Mill

At M/S Eshal Rice, we transform raw paddy into high-quality rice through a modern parboiling process. This blog explains how paddy is cleaned, soaked, boiled, dried, milled, and finally packaged into rice ready for consumers. We also highlight the total time required for each stage of production.

Step-by-Step Paddy Boiling Process

1) Cleaning

When paddy arrives at the mill, it is cleaned to remove dust, straw, stones, and other impurities. This ensures only healthy grains move forward to processing.

2) Soaking

The cleaned paddy is soaked in large tanks of water for 8–10 hours. This softens the husk and allows moisture to penetrate the grain, preparing it for steaming.

3) Steaming (Parboiling)

The soaked paddy is transferred to steam chambers, where high-pressure steam is applied for 60–90 minutes. This partially cooks the rice inside the husk, strengthens the grain, and drives nutrients from the husk into the kernel, making parboiled rice more nutritious.

4) Drying

After steaming, the paddy is dried to bring down the moisture content to 12–14%. We use both natural sun drying and modern mechanical dryers. Drying usually requires 10–12 hours.

5) Milling & Packaging

Once dried, the paddy is milled to remove the husk and polished into rice. The finished rice is then hygienically packed under the Eshal Rice brand, ready for market distribution.

Time Required for Each Stage

• Cleaning: 1–2 hours
• Soaking: 8–10 hours
• Steaming: 1–1.5 hours
• Drying: 10–12 hours
• Milling & Packaging: 3–4 hours

➡️ In total, it takes approximately 24–30 hours to process paddy into fully finished rice.
