What Does Raw Rice Mean? Is There Any Difference Between Rice and Raw Rice?

Raw rice refers to rice in its uncooked form. In general usage, there is no major difference between “rice” and “raw rice”—the term “rice” can describe grains at various stages, including raw, soaked, parboiled, or cooked, depending on the context.

From a commercial and trade perspective, raw rice is classified mainly by grain size, such as:

• 
  

  Long Grain Rice

  
  


• 
  

  Medium Grain Rice

  
  


• 
  

  Short Grain Rice

  
  

During the milling process, raw rice has its husk and outer bran layers removed, while the grain remains uncooked. This form of rice is commonly traded in bulk and further processed or cooked by end users based on consumption or distribution requirements.
