Fortified rice kernels (FRK) are rice kernals which resemble rice grains. The kernels are produced using extrusion technology. In this process, milled broken rice is pulverized and mixed with a premix containing vitamins and minerals. FRK is added to non-fortified rice in a ratio ranging from 1:100 resulting in fortified rice nearly identical to traditional rice in aroma, taste, and texture. It is then distributed for regular consumption.
