Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of producing dehydrated rice flakes wherein dehydration of an aqueous slurry of substantially completely gelatinized rice starch granules and gelatinization and dehydration of a minor proportion of admixed ungelatinized rice starch granules is concurrently effected with a drum dryer. The dried sheet of substantially completely gelatinized rice material from the dryer is then subdivided into flakes or small platelets which require only the addition of hot water to quickly rehydrate to form a cooked rice product having the appearance and textural quality approaching that of freshly cooked mashed potatoes.
