Development of methods for growing wild rice in paddies and the use of modern farm machinery and techniques are increasing production of this grain. This has placed some pressure on the wild rice processor to provide processing capacity for handling the increased volumes. Engineering studies directed toward improving the parching step of the process have resulted in the development of a continuous procedure for conducting this operation. This two-stage procedure involves a steaming and a drying stage, and yields a finished rice with processing characteristics similar to commercially processed rice.
