🌾 Processing of Thooyamalli White Rice Vermicelli Using Sprout Activated Indigenous Thooyamalli White Rice Flour
🌿 Ingredients Composition
Sprout activated Thooyamalli Rice Flour – 100%
Water – RO Treated
1️⃣ Selection & Cleaning of Grains
Native Thooyamalli rice, known for its white jasmine-like grains and natural aroma cleaned using aspirators and destoners to remove husk, stones, and foreign matter.
They are then washed thoroughly with RO-treated water to maintain hygiene and nutrient integrity.
2️⃣ Sprouting Process (Nutrient Activation)
Soaking: Cleaned grains are soaked in RO-treated water for 8–10 hours to initiate enzymatic activity.
Germination: The soaked rice is kept in a controlled sprouting chamber at 28–30°C temperature and 85–90% humidity for 24–36 hours.
This activates amylase and protease enzymes, making starches more digestible and proteins bioavailable.
Drying: The sprouted rice is gently dried below 50°C using solar or tray dryers — preserving vitamins like B-complex and E.
3️⃣ Milling & Flour Preparation
The dried grains are stone-ground into a fine, smooth flour (100–150 micron mesh).
This ensures the flour retains the bran layer, aroma, and natural sweetness of Thooyamalli.
4️⃣ Dough Preparation
Sprouted Thooyamalli flour is mixed with RO-treated warm water to form a cohesive dough (moisture ~30%).
The dough is kneaded gently and rested for 20–30 minutes, allowing full hydration — this step enhances elasticity without using gluten or binders.
5️⃣ Extrusion & Vermicelli Formation
The hydrated dough is extruded through fine dies to form thin vermicelli strands.
Each strand is uniform, smooth, and lightly pre-cooked during extrusion.
Strands are cut to convenient 10–15 cm lengths for ease of cooking and packaging.
6️⃣ Drying
Freshly extruded vermicelli is tray-dried at 45–50°C until the final moisture reaches <10%.
This slow drying ensures long shelf life, prevents cracking, and maintains lightness.
🌾 Why Thooyamalli Rice Vermicelli is Special
✅ Indigenous Variety: Thooyamalli is an heirloom rice, prized for its aroma, softness, and high digestibility.
✅ Gut-Friendly: Sprouting breaks down phytic acid and resistant starch, improving mineral absorption.
✅ Balanced Glycemic Index: Though it’s white rice, sprouting reduces starch density, making it lighter on blood sugar.
✅ High in B-Vitamins: Especially B1 and B3, crucial for metabolism and energy.
✅ Natural Aroma & Flavor: No need for artificial flavoring — its mild floral notes come naturally.
