Separating Immature Kernels

Immature wild rice kernels are lighter in weight, have a higher moisture content, and yield less finished product than mature grain. A low yield of the finished product is undesirable because it reduces processing capacity and raises the costs of processing.

Therefore, processors separate and discard light-weight kernels, reducing the volume that has to be processed by 20-30 percent.
