FOR RICE |
|
|
| |
New Steaming process |
 |
Starting with the cargo rice (rice which has been rid of its ball) that the steaming takes place; it allows for cooking time to be reduced and makes the nutritional elements contained in the seed and bran move inside the grain. This process preserves in a much better way the original smell and taste qualities.
|
| |
|
Soft manufacture of grains on grindstone |
The soft manufacture of grains on grindstone is an exclusive and qualified technique which follows the cooking of rice. It consists of slowly scratching the grain in order to
|
 |
Reduce the heating (limiting the loss of nutritional elements naturally present in rice) , |
|
Preserve its nutritional qualities , |
|
Favour the penetration of water . |
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
FOR RICE DRINK
|
| |
|
An innovating patent which transforms rice into a drink while limiting the nutritional losses |
Two complementary enzymes will reproduce one for the process of digestion in the stomach and the other for the process of digestion in the intestine. The choice of these two enzymes is associated to a new technology that is entirely natural and which allows for a drink that is easy to digest and which has kept a part of the nutritional elements that are present in the grain of rice.
|
|
The rice drink that is produced is:
|
|
100% vegetarian , |
|
Without lactose , |
|
Sans cholestérol , |
|
Without Gluten , |
|
Easily digestible . |
|
| |
|
With Riseria Monferrato, rice, a living matter, is treated softly all along the processes which have come about as a result of technological research undertaken in partnership with institutes in Milan and Bangkok. |
| |
|
Disinsectisation, an exclusive and natural process |
|
Developed together with the University of Entomology in Milan and Air Liquide, disinsectisation involves the killing of eggs belonging to insects that are present in rice. It uses CO2 – gas admitted in organic farming – and provides a natural alternative to aggressive processes that are often used. |
| |
|
Changing the water in the basins |
|
For hygiene, Autour du Riz uses only brown rice, that is rice that has been rid of its ball while being soaked. It also changes the water of the basins every hour in order to eliminate the micro-organisms. |
| |
|

|
|
Because everything contributes to the taste of the product, Riseria Monferrato has invested in one of the most modern tools in Europe for this process: an optical picker with double reading capability. |
| |
|
