Red Rice Flakes Crispy (400 gms) (Sprouted)

Poongar, known for their unique nutritional profile, is an indigenous Poongar red rice variety of Tamil Nadu. The meticulous process of transforming this native rice into flattened, flaky, and crispy pieces involves several steps and it’s without any preservatives and additives:

1. Cleaning:
   • The whole rice grains are meticulously cleaned to remove impurities such as dust, stones, and foreign particles, ensuring the rice is pure and safe for further processing.
2. Dehulling:
   • The outer layer, or husk, of the rice is carefully removed using a dehulling machine. This step makes the rice suitable for consumption and further processing.
3. Soaking:
   • The cleaned rice grains are soaked in water to reduce anti-nutrients, thereby enhancing the bioavailability of essential nutrients.
4. Sprouting:
   • The soaked rice is then allowed to germinate under controlled conditions. This unique and patented process by Goodness Farm significantly enhances the nutritional profile of the rice, making it a first-of-its-kind product.
5. Drying and Roasting:
   • The sprouted rice is solar-dried to remove excess moisture. Following this, the rice is gently roasted in an uruli (a traditional Indian cooking vessel), which imparts a delightful roasted flavor and improves the texture.
6. Flaking:
   • The roasted rice grains are passed through a roller mill, flattening them into thin, crisp flakes.
7. Drying:
   • The rice flakes are then oven-dried to further reduce their moisture content, thereby extending their shelf life and maintaining their crispiness.
8. Packaging:
   • Finally, the dried rice flakes are carefully packed into bags or containers, ensuring they remain fresh and retain their crisp texture until they reach consumers.

These crispier and more nutritious rice flakes are an instant product, requiring no soaking before use.
