FROZEN RICE AND METHODS FOR MAKING FROZEN RICE

Abstract

The invention relates to frozen rice comprising molded rice and a moisture barrier formed on at least part of the surface of the molded rice, where after thawing the frozen rice under normal temperature and pressure conditions for one day, the difference between the surface moisture content of the frozen rice and the interior moisture content of the frozen rice is 5% by mass or greater, calculated on the total mass of the frozen rice, and the method of producing frozen rice, which includes the formation of a moisture barrier on at least part of the surface of the molded rice, solidification of at least part of the surface of the molded rice on which the moisture barrier is formed, and freezing of the solidified molded rice.
