You are interested in a solution to replace plastic straws with environmentally friendly straws. Luckily, we now have many types of environmentally friendly straws that can completely replace plastic straws such as: paper straws, bamboo straws, grass straws, rice straws, silicon straws, glass straws… Each type has its own advantages, but the best thing is that plastic straws will gradually be eliminated. Our living environment is getting cleaner day by day.

The main ingredient of the self-destructing rice straw is rice starch, so today I will explore with you the process of making rice starch from the famous Traditional Flour Village in Sa Dec.

After being cleaned and moistened, rice or broken rice will pass through the screw conveyor to the rice flour mill. 

After grinding, the rice flour water will be passed through a vacuum machine to separate the water and rice flour (our grandparents often put it in a cloth bag, tie it up, and then use stones to separate the water).

After separating the water, rice flour will be put through a stirrer to stir well before being pumped through the sediment separator system.

After about 2-3 hours of settling in the filter tank, the rice starch will float to the top separate from the sediment layer below. Rice starch will be recovered through the clear water separation tank. Residue powder will be recovered separately for sale to animal feed processing units.

After about 3 hours of pouring water, if you use your hand to pick up the wet starch lump and see that it has the consistency of flour, it is considered that we have completed the processing of rice starch from broken rice or rice. Do you know, this is the most quintessential part of rice grains that can make all kinds of cakes, noodles, and pho that are very delicious, smooth, and chewy.

This is the main ingredient for Green Starch Company to produce the self-destructing rice straws that are very typical of Sa Dec Flour Village.

We hope that one day we will be able to welcome and invite you to visit Sa Dec Powder Village and its unique products.

Sincerely and warmly welcome!
