    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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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. 😎

    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.

    • @O-cDxA
      @O-cDxA 2 года назад +11

      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.

    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.

      Using a manual sifter in which you toss the rice and with the help of wind outside the husk just blows away.

      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.

    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.

      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.
