Rice broken is a commercial output—not a single universal grade.
Broken rice may support food-processing, trade, institutional, feed or industrial requirements only when the actual grade and intended use are suitable and confirmed.
Understanding broken rice
Broken rice consists of sound rice kernels that break into smaller pieces during milling, handling or grading. It may be separated into different fractions for different commercial requirements.
The word “broken” does not by itself establish food safety, feed suitability, purity, moisture or processing fitness. Those depend on the actual lot and the buyer’s specification.
Dwar, Tiwar, Khanda and Nakku
Dwar
A local trade term for a separated broken-rice fraction. Its exact size and specification may vary.
Tiwar
A local name for a graded rice fraction. It is not presented as a fixed national grade.
Khanda
A trade term commonly used for broken rice pieces. Commercial specification varies by mill and buyer.
Nakku
A regional term associated with fine tips, corners or small fragments. Its composition and intended grade must be confirmed for each lot.
Dwar, Tiwar, Khanda and Nakku are local trade terms used for different rice fractions. Their exact grain size, composition and commercial specification may vary between rice mills, processing systems, varieties and buyer requirements.
Possible applications require separate specifications
- Human food and food-processing applications
- Rice flour, snacks, noodles, cereals or starch processing
- Fermentation applications where legally and technically appropriate
- Professionally formulated feed applications when the grade is approved
- Other buyer-approved industrial applications
Do not use a food, feed or industrial application as a substitute for an actual product specification or compliance assessment.
