About wash-free rice

What is wash-free rice?

Rice that has had nuka removed by rinsing in advance

The greatest feature of wash-free rice, which has had the nuka (skin debris) removed in advance, is that it can be cooked simply by adding water. Since there is no need to wash the rice, your hands do not get cold even on a cold winter day, saving you time and effort in cooking, and also saving on your water bill. In addition, the rice is environmentally friendly because it does not produce any water when it is washed.

BG = Bran Grind

BRAN MEANS "NUKA" AND GRIND MEANS "GRINDING. THE NAME "BG MILLING METHOD" IS DERIVED FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD.

• Brown rice is rubbed against each other to remove the nuka.
• Because of the skin nuka adhering around the umami layer, the taste will deteriorate if the rice is not washed.
• The adhesive nuka is used to peel off the skin nuka, which until now could only be removed by washing the skin.

FEATURES OF BG NO-RINSE RICE

It is more nutritious and tastier than conventional rice.

UNTIL NOW, THE TASTE OF RICE HAS BEEN HAMPERED BY NUKA, WHICH CANNOT BE REMOVED BY MILLING. HOWEVER, WASH-FREE RICE MADE BY THE BG MILLING PROCESS REMOVES THE TROUBLESOME NUKA WITHOUT DAMAGING THE SURFACE OF THE RICE, RESULTING IN RICE THAT IS SHINY, FLUFFY, AND DELICIOUS. ALSO, BECAUSE THE RICE IS COOKED WITHOUT RINSING, THERE IS NO LOSS OF NATURAL VITAMINS AND OTHER NUTRIENTS, MAKING IT MORE NUTRITIOUS THAN CONVENTIONAL RICE.

Prevents pollution of rivers and saves water.

Rice water contains very high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which can cause pollution of oceans, rivers, and lakes. The amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in rice rinse water is the highest among kitchen wastewater that is thrown down the "sink" and is said to be one of the causes of water pollution. Rinse-free rice, in which the water used to rinse the rice is not discharged from the processing plant or from the home, not only saves water, but also helps to protect the environment.

Pesticide residues and causes of yellowing are eliminated, resulting in safe and long-lasting flavor.

RESIDUAL PESTICIDES, WHICH ARE SAID TO REMAIN ON THE SKIN, ARE ALSO REMOVED BY THE BG POLISHING PROCESS, SO THE RICE CAN BE EATEN WITH PEACE OF MIND. IN ADDITION, RICE MAY TURN YELLOW WHEN KEPT WARM IN A RICE COOKER, BUT SINCE THE NUKA THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY REMOVED, THE RICE BECOMES WHITE AFTER COOKING. THE RICE WILL NOT TURN YELLOW AFTER COOKING, AND THE DELICIOUS TASTE WILL LAST FOR A LONG TIME.
