Can we all appreciate the fact that modern farming technology is so good that entire truckloads of rice can be reasonably expected to be bug-free? Even with standards that high, it is still sold at a profit...mindblowing
Here in the philippines our rice are often came with bugs and stored in open air in markets. We prefer our rice that way than bug free and lots pf pesticides thats harmful for the health
see we need to understand eco system and go with it not against it.....bugs and insects are the solders of Earth if we end them using pesticides we suffer consequences....and chemicals poison us to extent we cant imagine.
This reminded me of how much hard works my parents, grandparents and generations before me making rice from start to finish manually their whole life. I remember those day my mom had to make a small mud patch in the garden to germinate the rice. My father and the water Buffalo did the ploughing to prepare the field. Once they’re big enough, she brought them to the field and plant them by hands. Every couple days, she would bring me to those field and we together pulled up the water with this tool ( note sure what it called anymore, it’s like a cone shape bucket with strings on both side, 2 people each hold 2 strings attached to top and bottom of the cone and scope up the water from tiny runnel to water the rice paddy. On dry season, sometimes we had to do it from one runnel to the next to gather enough water for small paddy). it took months of manual watering, weeding, etc… for the rice to be ready for harvest. If that’s on hot day, my parent would cut the rice overnight to avoid the extreme heat. There’s no fancy tool, just small sickle and lots of sweats, they tied them in bunches, carried them to the wood trailer. I had seen some farmer carried so much rice that the back of their neck and shoulder swollen up like they got a baseball inside. Once the trailer is fulled, my father would be the one who pull it while other pushed from behind to bring the rice home, then back to the field and repeat until all rice was transported back. At home, they use this tool looked like wooden nunchucks to wrap each bunch of rice and hit it on a slab of stone until most the rice fall off the plant, any left would be manually pull off by us kids. The rice then would be sun dry for couple days. As kids, our job would be this easy part of watching out for rain and turn the rice by dragging our feet though it every once in a while to make sure the rice got completely dry for storage. Everyday just scooping out the rice, sun dry them, and scoop them back in at the end was enough to build 6 packs lol. If we goofed and not paying attention to the sky, we could loose it all with some sudden rain. Once dried, my mom would use flat big bamboo tray to screen out stuffs like empty husk, straws, dirt. First she used the biggest circle tray, possibly 4-5ft diameter, this one was tightly weaved, no holes to flip the rice back and forth, the bad one or empty husk usually lighter would gather in one end and she would throw them aside to use as burning material for the kitchen later. Then she transferred the good one to smaller ones with some holes on bottoms to screen out the rocks, dirt or other debris. All that done, we could finally store the rice. If we need to use it, my mom would have to bring out this huge tool that’s like a giant form of mortar and pestle to de-husk the rice. Rice was put inside a huge stone hole, the adult would use their feet to step on one end of a log which connected to a big pestle . When they stepped on the end, the pestle would raise up and they released the pressure, the pestle would hit the rice and remove the husk. This again would go through screening process to separate the eatable rice, husk and bran. Brand would be used for the animal food, husk for burning material. Some years when the weather was tough, we could loose all the crop right before harvest. Imagine working with promised pay by the end of the year and all went down the without any warning. Im glad, my parents don’t have to work like that anymore.
Thanks, this is the informative content I was curious about and came here for : How its been done for centuries and for the vast majority of time humans have been evolving farming manually and methodically.
This is one of the best comments that I’ve ever read on TH-cam. Thank you so much for sharing your family’s life in growing rice. It was very interesting to read. I hope your family is very happy today.
You’d be surprised how a couple of bugs can make a logistics company reject an entire truck. I work at a Kelloggs warehouse and if we find even one bug on a truck, we have to reject the whole truck, because we don’t know if there are hundreds more hiding in the pallets, boxes, etc. Just imagine pouring a bowl of cereal to find even one beetle. You’d probably throw the whole box away too. It’s just a larger scale with logistics.
@@nedflanders2943 yes, I was even surprised when they stuck to that standard! Their reasoning is that bugs tend to reproduce rapidly when they are surrounded by food and possibly sit in one location in the warehouse for months. So if an inspection were to be done and there was an infestation, the whole plant had to be shut down and eradicated of bugs, which cuts into business dramatically. So even rejecting one truck because of bugs can save the company lots of money in the long run. Smart business.
Rice is one of the cheapest foodstuffs in the grocery store, and I never thought about how much it goes through to get it the way we do in those bags. What an interesting little video! I love _How It's Made_ so much!
I was hoping to see more details about that too. It would be interesting to see the difference in rice grown by large farms and rice from smaller ones.
It's amazing that ancient people ever even figured out that rice was edible given how many steps are required to turn it into the final, ready to cook product. Not to mention they probably had even more steps involved given they didn't have machines.
It's amazing how the simplest of things like rice or flour is produced by such a complex and many step process. And the fact we can watch the process for free and see all of this. It just makes one think how great of a time it is to be alive. And with that said, have a nice day today.
As a Filipino and back when I was a still a kid, my elders used to say to me not to waste a single grain of rice because a farmer gave out so much effort to de-husk every single grain of rice on my plate.
It's absolutely ludicrous how far technology has come, imagine how many tens of thousands of people it used to take to produce this much rice in a day. Now just a few people overseeing some machines do it, thank the stars we all happened to be born in the era we are now.
@@BB49. You're right screw technology we should go back to when everybody was dying at like age 30 and had to do brutal hard labor everyday all day yep you're totally not a moron lol
"The broken rice is used to make cereal or beer." Or sold as broken rice for Vietnamese cuisine. Cơm Tấm (Broken Rice) is a very popular Vietnamese dish.
@@notgray88 All the most common restaurant dishes in Vietnam are available in the US (or other Western countries). The only thing that would be rare is the street food. In Hanoi there is one dish that I haven't really seen anywhere in the US, which is eel noodle soup. One good (or interesting) thing about Vietnamese food is that the the Vietnamese food you find in countries outside of Vietnam, in the Western world, is actually very similar and in many cases identical to the food people eat in Vietnam. Which is unlike Chinese or Italian food. Chinese-American and Italian-American food has changed a lot from their home countries, but Vietnamese food largely has not.
@@notgray88 And yes I'm Vietnamese but I've lived in the US and Australia for a long time. If you want to try good Vietnamese dishes besides the most popular ones (like phở), some of my favorites include bánh canh (essentially Vietnamese udon with either crab or pig's trotters), bún riêu (a seafood and tomato based noodle soup), bánh cuốn (steamed rice paper wrapped around pork and mushrooms and served with fried onions, Vietnamese sausage and fish sauce), and chả cá (grilled turmeric and dill marinated fish served with vermicelli and peanuts). Also Vietnamese vegan food is very good.
It is actually more interesting to see how rice is processed by small farmers, like in the Philippines. Muddy fields tilled by carabao, hand planted, grown for 95 days, usually hand harvested (sometimes a harvest machine is rented), dried locally, finally milled by the milling trucks that drive around the neighborhoods. The husks are used as compost. During the monsoon season we can get 3 or 4 rice harvest, if the rains cooperate. 😎
Next they need to lower the casket. They use this double-sided pulley system to ensure it lowers evenly. Once the casket meets the bottom, slack from the straps tells the paulbearers that you've reached your final resting place.
The most tricky part is the grinding process in producing white rice from brown rice (3:30), whose inner working mechanism is unfortunately not revealed here. This is a key information to learn as the grinding is imaginably quite different from the grinding of wheat grains which are crushed completely and the white flour is separated from the bran by screening, a simple physical process. But grinding brown rice to remove the bran is much trickier as the entirety of the kernel has to be protected.
That's the whole reason I watched the video. I'm still puzzled about how they 'grind' off the outer shell and leave the inner part on something as small as a grain of rice - and they do it millions of times over. I wish they showed how it's done.
Yeah it was pretty obvious that removing the bran is a secret process. They could just say, "Next comes a secret process where they remove the bran ..."
I think they actually use mills that are spaces just right for rice to fit between them without milling it down to nothing. So it's like two plates that are just far apart enough to let rice between but not enough to go past without removing some skin.
Everything is better now. I’m from Southern Vietnam, my childhood was beside the rice and harvest. Farmers had to do everything from watering,seeding or harvesting by hands. They did have buffalo to help but it didn’t help really much. Some areas in my country still has to do by hand or just simple machines, not modern and convenient like that.
Rice has become the most stable food around the world. Its a wonderful discovery when a something as small as a grain can be packed together to be cooked and served.
The video talks about "raw rice". Here in India, the paddy grains are boiled in water once or twice before de-skinning. This process ensures fewer broken kernels and also the cooked rice is less sticky. Sold as "par-boiled" rice, called as "usna" in my mother tongue.
i will enjoy this bowl of rice with even more gratitude as i now know how much effort goes into making rice available for people, such as my self, as a meal on a daily basis.
The video shows a man walking on top of the rice to determine the moisture content and this is okay. But if a worker finds a moth or another bug in the rice the truck load will not be allowed ?
I *think* its because the husk was still on but thats still bs, even if it was just a shot for a video. They did have some type of cover on there shoes but yeah.
Mike Strong I doubt it’s actually rejected outright, - probably the Truck (rice) is inspected and filtered before being presented again for inspection, no one is going to throw 5500lbs of rice away - that’s just stupidity on the highest level .
@@lasarith2 it's common for american farmer to dispose harvest if something not meet their standard, recently they burying mountain load of potato just cause not enough buyers
Is the rice farm in the video the same type as in Asian countries? It doesn't seem to be as wet as the fields where farmers wade through the water to tend the crop.
If I somehow knew the exact chemical composition of rice and had the most technology advanced equipment possible, I could theoretically assemble that grain of rice exactly as if it was grown.
I live in the middle of a wide rice terrace. I say for sure I'm awe-strucked on how fast and efficient today's rice milling technology works. The amount of time and manpower lessened, yet I say for sure.. nothing beats old traditional rice grown on the province. Hand-worked hardworked rice is still the best than machine-harvested and prepared ones. I love this episode of modernity tho.
Yes! Here in Kerala I used to eat hand milled brown rice. It tasted really like peanuts and very delicious. Removing the bran is a really stupid process
Thought they're going to show the process of growing rice. Also i was shookt seeing so many machines haha. Here in the Philippines my grandparents still do it manually. I miss running around rice field chasing cousins (kung saan nila binibilad yung bigas para matuyo.) TH-cam algorithm making me miss my grandparents even more :(
One of my favorite dishes and episodes of How It's Made! As Asian as I am, I eat this literally everytime I come across it as I have done since childhood. Lol. My Filipino side craves rice!!
I’m really happy that they can not only expect entire truckloads of batches to be free of a single bug, but that they’ll reject an entire batch if they find even one single bug. Makes me feel a lot better tbh
If you want to learn a little about the process of farming and tending to the rice, I'd recommend the game Sakuna. Sure, it's not 100% accurate or realistic since its a videogame, but you get an idea of just how delicate and detailed the rice growing process is.
A total miracle, all depending on oil, gasoline. Seems the same process for wheat. God bless the farmers who suffer so the rest of us can have it so good.
The most important part is removing small stones or hard mud balls. I'm thankful for this technology, for I once bit into a small stone while in a 3rd world country. The stone was in the rice, it even looked like a small kernel of rice, but it was a small white stone. Broke my tooth, very expensive and painful.
"The broken fragments are then separated for later use in making either beer or cereal....beereal." "So now you know how to make rice. Now you've really paid the price. Now the price is rice."
I’m still baffled by how this is done. Air blasts a single dark kernel out of the mix?! What? How? Now I need to know how this was done before machinery 🤔
I am pretty sure that the air jets might catch several kernels. It's no matter they have a food-processing line for the imperfect-looking bits of food and it probably goes to the animal-feed line.
Quality control is very important in food industry, if you can't give a high quality product then you can sell that as a lower quality one, it's not like after they reject your product you should dump all of them
@@Saffy1 Far as I know, the fields do get flooded for at least part of the growing season then left to dry so harvesters can gather the crop more easily
Arkansas was the top producer of rice in the United States, generating 84.26 million centum weight of rice in 2019. California came in second with 41.93 million centum weight of rice in that year.
Kudos to all those brilliant minds who invented these machines. I wonder how people used to do this when there were no machines. That's a lot of work if someone had to do everything manually
Im an Aussie working my kitchen cooking rice right now ... I'll cool it down ready for tomorrow and turn it into fried rice with egg, bacon, green peas and a touch of soy sauce to give it that's special flavour.. My wife and I love it and make enough as a side dish with many different meals... Top video and very informative... Whoops...the pot is boiling over !!
Rice grows on sandy and clay soil when the soil is dry it forms clumps like those mudballs ...when its time to harvest rice, sometimes those mudballs get in the with the rest of the rice.
I have found weevils in boxes of Rice a Roni, but not sure if they were already in there or if they were in my cupboard too long and found their way in. Years ago a grocery store we went to, we used to get these date coconut rolls, they were really good, almost like candy, and they in the produce section in little rectangular boxes. One time when I opened the box, the date coconut rolls were covered in webs. My mom took the box back to the store and the manager seriously told her this is common in many foods and that "there's hatchings all over the store." LOL.
Honestly it astounds me that people ate rice and wheat before mechanization. It just seems like so much work for tiny little grains, especially compared to what you can get from tubers like potatoes.
"If he finds just one moth or beetle, the WHOLE 5500 pounds are rejected" Bro in my country removing bugs from rice is a whole step to cooking it😂😂 I swear I'm dying so hard-
Can we all appreciate the fact that modern farming technology is so good that entire truckloads of rice can be reasonably expected to be bug-free? Even with standards that high, it is still sold at a profit...mindblowing

And പുഴുക്കലരി (puzhukkalari) in Malayāḷam, my mother tongue 💖
I buy it from Indian shops here in Australia, it's much better for you.
The rice mill I used to work at had some boilers for this too. Makes the rice come out yellow.
WOW!! I never knew this. Mechanical engineers are amazing to have designed machines to do this work.
That’s why we’re so fat and unhealthy as a species today. Hurrah!
You're welcome.
@@ffi1001 Without those machines, everyone would still have to work in agriculture. We would've never progressed past subsistence farming!
That opening chime was nostalgic. We had our TV subscription removed many years ago, I used to watch these channels every night playing LEGO
i will enjoy this bowl of rice with even more gratitude as i now know how much effort goes into making rice available for people, such as my self, as a meal on a daily basis.
Incredible! Amazing to think that some technical people have thought out how these machines work and then go on to construct them.
yeah we the best music!
"How It's Made" is still an awesome program!
2:34 - Oh God, Peter what are you doing?... you could have killed us all opening that machine. Jeez!
Guy's not even wearing goggles....
The video shows a man walking on top of the rice to determine the moisture content and this is okay. But if a worker finds a moth or another bug in the rice the truck load will not be allowed ?
I *think* its because the husk was still on but thats still bs, even if it was just a shot for a video. They did have some type of cover on there shoes but yeah.
Lol u can wash the rice bfore cook but if theres a bug its hard to filter...common sense:3
@@adamzahari4844 lmaooo
Mike Strong I doubt it’s actually rejected outright, - probably the Truck (rice) is inspected and filtered before being presented again for inspection, no one is going to throw 5500lbs of rice away - that’s just stupidity on the highest level .
@@lasarith2 it's common for american farmer to dispose harvest if something not meet their standard, recently they burying mountain load of potato just cause not enough buyers
My fiancé is Filipina , in her village they have these huge rice fields that I’ve always thought were really beautiful. It’s so cool how it’s grown
Every time I see a How’s it Made. I think I want to see who makes all those machines.
That should be a separate episode on how it's made
We get some real husky and broken rice here in Jamaica, the ‘good rice’ is expensive. My favorite rice is basmati tho☺️
Basmati is Indian rice; my favorite is Kamini - the grains are very small and it is very difficult to cook.
Or jasmine.
Love rice, loved to see innovation in farming!
'Here is the brown (nutritious) rice. Here is the polished white (less nutritious) rice.'
White means purer and cleaner. I'll take white rice over your garbage brown rice. I'll take white, refined, pure sugar over your brown garbage.

What kind of world do we live in where a weeb owns a rice field.
@@Brian7694 yeahhh xD
@@Brian7694 the weeb that watched silver spoon and decided to buy rice field lol
We farm rice, but in small quantity. It takes a long time.
Is the rice farm in the video the same type as in Asian countries? It doesn't seem to be as wet as the fields where farmers wade through the water to tend the crop.
if 1 bug is found, 5500 pounds of rice will be rejected….. yeah, right.
such bs eh! they meant if their is 5500 bugs in the batch then maybe lol
Working at a grain silo here. If we find a bad type of bug in a sample we will reject the whole truckload of ~40 tonnes a lot of the times.
There are of course methods of killing the bugs so it doesn't have to go to waste
Rejected, to where....
@@martinburrows6844 probably to feed animals or something
Always wondered how rice is made. Interesting to watch. Well summarized.
I had no idea. Looked like a long process. Amazing what those machines can do. Was fun to watch. Great video
Rice isn't "made", it's grown. 😂
Michelle C. I guess the final product(white rice) gets made from the whole grain.
If I somehow knew the exact chemical composition of rice and had the most technology advanced equipment possible, I could theoretically assemble that grain of rice exactly as if it was grown.
@@nathancamara6285 Legendary!
and plus i don’t think that they’re gonna change the show’s name to “How it’s grown” for one episode...
Shhhh don’t let them know
You either
A. Got this on your recommendation
B. Are high and how rice is made randomly came into your head
or both?
I’m actively researching tho ?
Wut a boot me ?
Or C: you’re in the middle of binge-watching How It’s Made videos
Or D: you’re eating rice and wondering how it’s made.
I’m just high and got the recommendation so here i am 😂
they don't reject tons of rice, if bugs are found,.they just go back time after time and rid the rice of as many bugs as they can
I live in the middle of a wide rice terrace. I say for sure I'm awe-strucked on how fast and efficient today's rice milling technology works. The amount of time and manpower lessened, yet I say for sure.. nothing beats old traditional rice grown on the province. Hand-worked hardworked rice is still the best than machine-harvested and prepared ones. I love this episode of modernity tho.
Yes! Here in Kerala I used to eat hand milled brown rice. It tasted really like peanuts and very delicious. Removing the bran is a really stupid process
Thought they're going to show the process of growing rice. Also i was shookt seeing so many machines haha. Here in the Philippines my grandparents still do it manually. I miss running around rice field chasing cousins (kung saan nila binibilad yung bigas para matuyo.)
TH-cam algorithm making me miss my grandparents even more :(
Di ba binibilad pa yung irik? Bakit dito di na binilad?
One of my favorite dishes and episodes of How It's Made! As Asian as I am, I eat this literally everytime I come across it as I have done since childhood. Lol. My Filipino side craves rice!!
Mmm! I love Rice. I also love your channel so much! Lots of love.

There are usually weevils in our bag of rices. That’s one of the reasons why we have to wash the rice before cooking.
More nutrients
why wash away the extra source of protein? 😁
welp, just ate some weevils
What's a weevil ?...I keep rice in the refrigerator
I’m really happy that they can not only expect entire truckloads of batches to be free of a single bug, but that they’ll reject an entire batch if they find even one single bug. Makes me feel a lot better tbh
If you want to learn a little about the process of farming and tending to the rice, I'd recommend the game Sakuna. Sure, it's not 100% accurate or realistic since its a videogame, but you get an idea of just how delicate and detailed the rice growing process is.
@@zehechen920 go find a Chinese one then. It's not a competition on who came first or whatever, we can learn and appreciate stuff in multiple ways
@@zehechen920 cool idc
sometimes i put one of these on and pretend i’m in science class and it helps me fall asleep
No cap me too 😂😂
Same
same.. pretending im learning something new
A total miracle, all depending on oil, gasoline. Seems the same process for wheat. God bless the farmers who suffer so the rest of us can have it so good.
I will never take Rice 🍚 for granted again. Amazing
here in the philippines, they harvest rice the ancient way.
Not quite, in Nueva Ecija its already modernized although the Rice Harvesters are rented its not that ancient anymore.
The most important part is removing small stones or hard mud balls. I'm thankful for this technology, for I once bit into a small stone while in a 3rd world country. The stone was in the rice, it even looked like a small kernel of rice, but it was a small white stone. Broke my tooth, very expensive and painful.
I am really amaze to those people who thought and made all of these machines.
That employee that gets to count the rice grains in the warehouse on his own has the dream job!
Thank you for simplifying our life 🙇
"The broken fragments are then separated for later use in making either beer or cereal....beereal."
"So now you know how to make rice. Now you've really paid the price. Now the price is rice."
I’m still baffled by how this is done. Air blasts a single dark kernel out of the mix?! What? How? Now I need to know how this was done before machinery 🤔
we arent allowed to talk about how it was done before machinery anymore. blame the thinskins for that one.
Using a manual sifter in which you toss the rice and with the help of wind outside the husk just blows away.
The bigger question is who thought this up?
I am pretty sure that the air jets might catch several kernels. It's no matter they have a food-processing line for the imperfect-looking bits of food and it probably goes to the animal-feed line.
Slight anxiety triggered when that dude put his hand into the hole of the spinning machine
If you really think they reject the whole Truck after finding a bug, you’re a fool
I agree, I find a bug in my rice once in awhile.
Type of insect matters here
That was bothering me, I thought they would say they'd filter it
Well, if they find one in that tiny sample, imagine how many are in the whole truckload?
Quality control is very important in food industry, if you can't give a high quality product then you can sell that as a lower quality one, it's not like after they reject your product you should dump all of them
didn’t know America had rice farms
A lot of rice is grown in California to be exported to the Asian markets
I thought rice grows in water
@@Saffy1 Far as I know, the fields do get flooded for at least part of the growing season then left to dry so harvesters can gather the crop more easily

Arkansas was the top producer of rice in the United States, generating 84.26 million centum weight of rice in 2019. California came in second with 41.93 million centum weight of rice in that
year.
Kudos to all those brilliant minds who invented these machines. I wonder how people used to do this when there were no machines. That's a lot of work if someone had to do everything manually
2:03 rejected and goes where??
Walmart grocery store shelves 😂
My favorite part of these episodes are when they say what becomes animal feed. I love to hear the animals get yummy food.
Removing the bran is a stupid process. It so healthy and delicious
@@Saranaprasadam Good thing you can get that option with brown rice!
Wow! Absolutely amazing!

Im an Aussie working my kitchen cooking rice right now ...
I'll cool it down ready for tomorrow and turn it into fried rice with egg, bacon, green peas and a touch of soy sauce to give it that's special flavour..
My wife and I love it and make enough as a side dish with many different meals...
Top video and very informative...
Whoops...the pot is boiling over !!
i enjoyed this video reminds me of home im tiawanese these technologies are very advanced i used my hands and feet at home
live laugh love
🤣🤣
2:31 "Finally they remove mud balls" Like we're supposed to know what they are.
Rice grows on sandy and clay soil when the soil is dry it forms clumps like those mudballs ...when its time to harvest rice, sometimes those mudballs get in the with the rest of the rice.
@@resham9914 thanks for the info 👍
Whenever i visit India, i always bring a bag of Basamati Rice. You can never have that enough. Nothing comes close to that.
I have found weevils in boxes of Rice a Roni, but not sure if they were already in there or if they were in my cupboard too long and found their way in. Years ago a grocery store we went to, we used to get these date coconut rolls, they were really good, almost like candy, and they in the produce section in little rectangular boxes. One time when I opened the box, the date coconut rolls were covered in webs. My mom took the box back to the store and the manager seriously told her this is common in many foods and that "there's hatchings all over the store." LOL.

How is processed is not the name
we need a sorting system like that for society
When i was little I was shocked that not everyone eats rice ( I’m an Asian )
Honestly it astounds me that people ate rice and wheat before mechanization. It just seems like so much work for tiny little grains, especially compared to what you can get from tubers like potatoes.
i'm watching this while eating rice, and ends it when the video ends. perfect

should have featured also the traditional way of milling rice

Removing the bran lowers the nutritional value, brown rice is healthier.
And brown rice is much effective for our hunger
I enjoy these shows

That rice still has its husk and bran on it, no worries.
I've always wondered what process was used. Amazing large scale.
bruh he just stood all over rice that people are gonna eat
