This Process Renders Starch, Proteins And Vitamins Less Water-Soluble, Improving The Consistency Of The Grains And Enabling Them To Absorb More Cooking Liquid. When Cooked, The Grains Become Larger, Firmer, Do Not Stick Together And Taste Better. After The Aging Process, The Rice Is Refined And Whitened . For This Step In The Transformation Prosess The Screw (A Machine Invented In 1975) Is Still Regarded The Best For The Job, And Is By No Means The Most Economical.
