Cultural context
100% broken rice is a staple food. Not a by-product.
In Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau, broken rice is the preferred grain for traditional dishes including thieboudienne, cherchem, and rice-based porridges. It absorbs sauces better, has a softer texture, and is culturally preferred. It is not a by-product of milling; it is a deliberately produced commodity with specific buyer demand.
Calling broken rice "waste," "seconds," or "feed" misreads the trade. The mill loads cargo specifically targeted at this segment. Sortex cleaning and uniform sizing are part of the spec, not an afterthought. For the broader broken-grade scale, see broken grades explained in the Knowledge Hub.
