Rice Husks / Hulls
R 30.00 incl. Vat @15%
The rice husks are the external hard protecting coverings of grains of rice. The husk protects the seed during the growing season, since it is formed from hard materials, including opaline silica and lignin. This product is obtained through a process called “dehulling”, during this process, the hulls are removed from the raw rice
grain to reveal whole brown rice, which may then sometimes be milled further to remove the bran layer, resulting in white rice.
The rice husk is light and bulky, its density varies between 100 and 140 kg/m³ and the nutrient content is poor: 3,3% of protein and 1,1% of fat, the cellulose instead constitutes 45% of the mass.
The PH is very stable and close to neutral: 7,5% (H2o).
