Create a class book that describes the growing and processing of rice. Research the properties of gluten and compare the gluten content of short, medium, and long grain rice. Determine the energy transfer available from rice straw. Name two reasons why japonica rice is the most common variety grown in California. It is most suited to California's temperate growing conditions and is prized for its unique cooking characteristics.

Rub the two pieces back and forth until all of the hulls are removed from the rice kernels. Rice hulls are often burned in biomass plants to produce energy or incorporated into animal feed. Brown rice is packaged and sold.
