And consequently, making chicken food
15 January 2010, 09:00In Thailand (and probably in the rest of Asia) rice is tumbled in a mill to remove the hard outer shell, and the result is what we know as white rice, what you see flowing into the wooden bucket there. The hulls that are removed are used as chicken feed. This white rice is not to be confused with the white rice you can buy in a grocery store in America: that rice is really white, because it has further been bleached to make it white. Eating bleach is a no-no. If you must have white rice, get it from an Asian grocery store.
