Super Rice
Super Rice is the main product of SRANAN ALESIE. Our Super Rice consists for the most part of whole grains and the percentage of broken rice is between 0% -10%. Our rice is rich in vitamins and contains the following nutritional value: 1482 KJ, 7 gr protein, 1 gr fat, 78 gr carbohydrates, 2 gr fiber, 2 mg sodium, 100 mg potassium, 10 mg, calcium, 0.4 mg iron, 0.04 mg B1, 0.03 mg B2 Our Super Rice is available in various types of packaging from 1 kg up to a maximum of 25 kg. We have the right packaging for every household.

Semi-Super
	Semi-Super Rice is another product of SRANAN ALESIE. The only difference between Super Rice and Semi-Super Rice is that there is a larger percentage of broken rice. The percentage of broken rice in Semi-Super Rice is between 15% – 18%. Our Semi-Super Rice is also available in packaging from 1 kg up to a maximum of 25 kg.

Semi-B
This product used to be called consumption rice. The reason for this name was that, in the early days, this rice had a percentage of broken rice between 40% – 60%. The Government used to sell this rice to the people of limited means. This had a negative result on the people and we at Sahara N.V. adjusted this product over the years. The product has been improved by adding more grains and reducing the percentage of broken grains. Our “consumption”, now called Semi–B, has a percentage of broken grains between 20%–25%. The Semi-B Rice is only available in large packaging. The quantities that we offer are 10 kg, 22.5 kg and 25 kg.

By-products
Broken Rice I
	Broken Rice I is used by the financially weak. The reason for this is that it is 100% broken rice and it is cheaper. The rice consists of quarter and half broken rice. This broken rice is available in packaging of 25 kg.

Broken Rice II
This is rice consisting only of half grains and is also used for daily consumption. This makes it best suitable for poultry. The Broken Rice II is only available in packaging from 10 kg up to 25 kg.

Fine grain rice
	Is also known as chicken feed. This is best suitable for poultry. The fine grain rice products are available in packaging of 25 kg, 50 kg and bulk packaging (packaging of 100 kg).

Rice Bran
As our last product we have rice bran. This is the brown or white powder that is released during the polishing from “cargo rice”, unpolished rice to white rice. Rice bran is available only in packaging of 30 kg.

Parboiled Rice
This is rice that is soaked in the chaff and is then pre-steamed. The effect of pre–steaming is that a large part of the nutrients soak from the coat into the grain. After parboiling, the rice is still polished and grinded. Parboiled rice has a higher nutritional value than white rice. The cooking time is the same.


Unpolished Rice

Unpolished rice is the dried paddy grain with the chaff removed. The coat is still attached to the product making the rice healthier.

White Rice
This is the dried paddy with the chaff removed and further grinded and polished to become white rice. First the rice is grinded, then polished. In grinding the rice, the rice grains grate together as a result of which the coat and kernel disappear. After grinding, the rice is polished. Remains of starch on the grains are removed making the rice less sticky. The result is light rice with a mild taste.
