Rice flakes are tasty flakes that are created using rice grains. The process for creating rice flakes involves parboiling the rice, then flattening the grains to product a solid flake. There are a number of rice flake recipes used in Asian cuisine. Often in weste

countries, rice flakes are used to create cereals and different types of snacks. The creation of rice flakes begins with parboiled rice. This helps to soften the grain and prepare it for processing. Once the rice is tender, the cooked grains are rolled, and then flattened. The thickness of the flattened rice will depend on the amount of pressure that is applied which is then allowed to dry completely. The dried sheets are then run through another rolling process to create simple flakes. At this point in the process, the rice flakes may be packaged for use as a dry cereal, or used as an ingredient in recipes for a side dish, or used to create desserts or even snack foods. Rice flakes are known by several names such as flaked Rice, Beaten rice, Aval, Avalakki, Poha and Chiwda. Rice flake is one of the many traditional products in India. With this background, the CFTRI developed a process for improved Rice flaking. The improved process has the advantage of increase in yield and better quality products, besides economic utilization of by-products. Rice Flakes are produced from medium-grain rice and are widely used in brewing industry for clean and crisp beers. Rice Flakes can be used up to 40% of the total grist. Uses Rice Flakes are used as breakfast food. In India, rice flakes are famous by the names like poha/chiwda when cooked as breakfast meal. Rice flakes are mixed with milk when consumed as cereal. Wide application of Rice Flakes is in the application of beer industry to produce beer. One common use of rice flakes is to create a simple dessert that is somewhat similar to the rice pudding commonly served in Weste

countries. This approach involves adding milk and sugar to the rice flakes and allowing them to steep in the mixture for a short time. The consistency of the finished dish is somewhat like that of cooked oatmeal. Rice flakes can also be mixed with other dried grain flakes to create a tasty breakfast cereal. When combined with nuts and dried fruit, the rice flakes can also serve as a healthy snack alte

ative. A traditional dish using rice flakes is known as banhcom in Vietnam. Rice is harvested directly from the fields. Rather than parboiling, the rice is roasted and then flattened by hand using a mortar and pestle. This helps to remove the husk or hull of the rice grain. A range of spices is added to the flakes and the mixture is cooked long enough to allow the flavors to mingle. While rice flakes have traditionally been associated with food preparation in easte

countries, the flakes have become more readily available in the West in recent years. It is possible to purchase packaged rice flakes in most grocery stores and supermarkets that carry Asian foods. In addition, many health food stores carry rice flakes as both a cereal and a healthy ingredient for various types of vegetarian dishes.
