Why is Primera Rice vacuum packed?

 

What is vacuum packing?

Vacuum packing is the process of removing air out of a package before sealing the package. Due to this process, Primera Rice has a firm, rectangle shaped package. Vacuum packing is also the reason why the rice looks packed instead of looking loose grains.

Benefits of vacuum packing

The process of vacuum-packing is not only to improve the visual appeal of the product, but it is also important to ensure the quality of Primera Rice and its nutritional value. During the process of removing air from the package, oxygen, a gas that makes up a portion of the air is also removed. Oxygen is the gas that causes oil to become rancid. Usually, stale smell from oil is the sign of oil rancidity. Since Primera Rice is a whole grain that contains essential oil from the bran layer and germ, it should be protected from constant exposure to the oxygen.
