The production of high protein rice flours provides the rice industry with an opportunity for increasing the utilization of rice, introducing a new rice product that will create additional markets for rice, and establishing a greater potential for improved profits.

Standard processing techniques are used for the production of the new products. Highly nutritious rice flours can be made from whole milled rice, large broken kernels, solvent milled rice, or milled parboiled rice by the use of commercially available equipment.
