Benefit of ageing of rice:

Because of the ageing, it shows higher kernel elongation, water absorption, volume expansion and less dissolved solid contents which make the cooked grains flake. It undergoes structural changes which affects its pasting and gelling properties, thereby bringing change in flavour and texture of cooked rice.
