Description

  The present invention relates to a quantitative storage rice pack that can be properly cooked without being stored in a household refrigerator and weighing it, and to a method of selling rice using the same.

Gramineous rice is changed to α-starch that is easily digested (heated) by adding water and heating to cooked rice. When cooking white rice, wash rice by washing off the rice cake powder on the surface with water before cooking.
In addition, when cooking rice like this, if the airtightness is low, the temperature will not rise uniformly and it will be difficult to cook well, so currently electric rice cookers are mainly used. Rice pots and pressure cookers are used in clay pots or outdoors.

  Further, the amount of water added when cooking rice in this way is about 200 ml of water in the case of 1 go (180 ml) applied as a unit of rice weighing. In other words, the amount of rice and the amount of water when rice is cooked so that rice changes to α starch that is easy to digest (becomes α) and feels umami, and the amount of water is almost a constant ratio. As a result of this, electric appliances for cooking rice and other cooking utensils are generally used using this rice weighing unit. Specifically, in general, rice cooking is performed by adding or subtracting water to a quantity that is a natural number multiple of the unit of rice measurement of 1 go or 2 go.

  Such rice retailers currently sell rice with 5kg or 10kg of rice stored in a bag, and in this form of sales, the purpose is simply to transport rice, Not considered. Therefore, after opening, it is stored in a rice bin at home, and only the amount of rice that is a natural number multiple of the unit of measurement used for cooking rice is weighed and taken out each time.

  In addition, in over-the-counter sales with such large-scale purchases, the number of days may have passed excessively than the rice milling day, and the standard is set sweetly for price adjustment, and rice with broken shirata and grains is broken. It may be mixed. In addition, resin-made rice bags made from petroleum resources were not subject to recycling after use, and were discarded individually.

Furthermore, it is very troublesome to purchase 5 kg or 10 kg of rice in a rice shop for single persons, single persons or particularly elderly persons, and it is also inconvenient to transport and store after purchasing rice. Furthermore, there is a problem that it is necessary to prepare a measuring cup or the like separately for measuring rice.
Patent Documents 1 and 2 exist as prior art documents that have been studied to deal with such problems.

Patent document 1 solves the deterioration of quality caused by exposure of polished rice to the outside air from production to consumption, particularly the deterioration caused by exposure to the outside air when it is taken out from the refrigerated state, in transportation, handling, display, etc. Disclosed are containers, packed rice in containers, and methods for producing packed rice that improve workability and hygienic conditions and reduce the complexity associated with weighing rice during cooking.
Patent Document 2 discloses a rice container that has a weighing function added to a lid body that is openable and closable with respect to the container body, and is convenient for transportation and storage, and also has a weighing function.

It is sectional drawing of the fixed quantity accommodation rice pack concerning other embodiment of this invention. It is a schematic diagram which shows one Embodiment of the sales method of the rice of this invention. It is a graph which shows the difference in the freshness of the polished rice of the case where the sales method of the rice of this invention is implemented, and the case of the conventional method.

In the present invention, the rice stored in the sealed container is brown rice, germinated brown rice, split rice, germ-milled rice (germ rice), white rice (milled rice, polished rice), or non-washed rice.
Brown rice is rice from which rice straw is crushed to remove rice husks, and has a rice bran layer containing vitamins and fats necessary for germination.

  Germinated brown rice is a slightly germinated brown rice, has a higher nutritional value than brown rice, has good digestion and taste, and is relatively suitable for cooking in a rice cooker for white rice. Long-term storage is possible by resting the germination process under vacuum.

  Divided rice is polished rice with a certain proportion of rice bran from rice, and it is called 3 minutes rice, 5 minutes rice, and 7 minutes rice.

  Embryo polished rice (germ rice) is whitened so that only the cocoon layer is removed from the brown rice and the germ remains at 80% or more by weight. In order to prepare germ rice, it is necessary to use a dedicated large rice mill, and it is difficult to meet the quality standard of germ rice with a home rice mill. Germ polished rice is easier to digest than brown rice and can be cooked in a rice cooker for white rice.

  White rice (polished rice, polished rice) is rice obtained by whitening brown rice to remove the straw layer and germs. As for the milled rice, the date of milling is obligated by the JAS Law, and those that have been milled for more than one month are usually removed from retail stores and supermarkets.

  Wash-free rice is a polished rice from which the powder of koji adhering to the surface of polished white rice has been removed, which eliminates the need for washing and is simple and saves water.

The fixed quantity storage rice pack of the present invention is obtained by storing the above-mentioned various types of rice in a sealed container in a predetermined amount that is a natural number multiple of the weighing unit for cooking rice.
The predetermined amount that is a natural number multiple of the weighing unit for cooking rice is usually indicated by “go”, but a weighing unit for cooking rice indicated by kg or ml may be used as necessary.
In this way, a predetermined amount of a natural number of times the unit for cooking rice is stored in a sealed container, so that the whole amount is always used without leaving rice in the sealed container, and exposure to the outside air is minimized during rice cooking work. It is possible to cook rice using rice that is always fresh and highly limited.

In addition, if the predetermined amount is n go (n: natural number) and n is 1 in particular, rice can be cooked from 1 go of rice, which is particularly convenient for elderly people, singles, etc. is there.
That is, for example, if n is 3, it is not suitable for cooking rice for 1 or 2 minutes, and the total amount of rice in a sealed container cannot be used, and the amount needs to be measured. If it is set to 1, it is sufficient to use a fixed quantity of rice storage packs that matches the amount of rice to be cooked, and the whole amount of rice in the sealed container can be used at all times. The freshness is not lowered by leaving the rice in the sealed container.

The rice to be stored may be vacuum sealed.
In this case, for example, when germinating brown rice is stored, long-term storage is possible by resting the germination process.
If the rice to be stored is polished rice that is required to display the milling date, the purchaser can confirm the milling date and purchase it, and the miller sells the necessary amount of milled rice as required by the purchaser. All rice milling can be delivered to homes.

Deodorant and / or water purification functional materials can also be accommodated.
Examples of the deodorizing and / or water purification functional material include charcoal, bamboo charcoal, and the like, which are fuels obtained by steaming and carbonizing an organic substance and containing carbon as a main component. Charcoal, bamboo charcoal, etc. are made from wood, bamboo, etc. that are stored by absorbing minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, manganese, etc. in the soil. It is possible to cook rice that has a fragrance due to its deodorizing effect. The amount of deodorant and / or water purification functional material to be stored is a necessary amount in relation to the amount of rice to be stored.

Furthermore, a dry food material can be enclosed.
In addition to white rice that does not mix anything, rice can be mixed and seasoned with various ingredients to make “rice cooked rice”, “additive rice”, “gomoku rice”. In that case, if the quantitative storage rice pack of the present invention contains dried food ingredients such as seafood, meat, and vegetables together with rice, it is easy to cook “cooked rice” seasoned with soy sauce etc. You can also
In addition, depending on the embodiment, it is possible to store minor grains and mineral additives such as calcium.
