Threshed grain or paddy, after sifting and winnowing, yields clean paddy which by hulling is separated into husked or cargo rice, and husk. Husked rice is separated, by skinning, into white rice and meal or bran. Polishing of the white rice produces the form preferred by European populations. In Burma the husk, forming one-fifth of the weight of the paddy crop is used as fuel in specially-designed furnaces or is converted into producer gas.
