How Paddy is Steamed and Boiled – Inside M/S Eshal Rice Mill

At M/S Eshal Rice, quality begins at the mill. Our paddy steaming and boiling (parboiling) process creates stronger grains, consistent cooking, and better nutrition—perfect for families and food businesses alike.

Why Parboil Paddy?

• Stronger grains: fewer broken kernels during milling.
• More nutritious: steam drives vitamins and minerals into the grain.
• Better shelf life: safe moisture targets prevent spoilage.
• Reliable cooking: even texture and taste every time.

The Eshal Rice Process (Step-by-Step)

1) Cleaning & Preparation

Incoming paddy is cleaned to remove dust, straw, stones, and other impurities. Only healthy grains move forward.

2) Soaking

Paddy is soaked in large tanks so moisture penetrates the husk and kernel evenly—this is essential for uniform steaming.

3) Steaming (Parboiling)

Soaked paddy is transferred to our steam chambers. High-pressure steam partially cooks the rice inside its husk, strengthening kernels and enhancing nutrition.

4) Boiling

Controlled boiling completes the gelatinization of starches and sets the grain structure, contributing to the signature golden color of parboiled rice.

5) Drying

We bring moisture down to the safe range of 12–14% using a mix of mechanical dryers and aerated floors—key for storage stability.

6) Milling & Packaging

Dried paddy is milled to remove husk and bran to the target finish, then hygienically packed under the Eshal Rice brand for distribution.

Quality Controls We Follow

• Batch logs for soaking time, water temperature, and steam pressure.
• Inline moisture checks before and after drying.
• Broken-rate and whiteness tests post-milling.
• Food-grade packaging and lot traceability.

FAQs

Is parboiled rice healthier?

Yes. Steaming moves micronutrients from the bran into the kernel, so parboiled rice retains more vitamins and minerals after milling. Why does parboiled rice look slightly golden?

The gelatinization during steaming/boiling gives grains a natural golden hue—it’s a sign of proper parboiling. What moisture is safe for storage?

Typically 12–14% at bagging, verified by calibrated meters.
