PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide dry germinated unpolished rice having excellent safety and excellent taste after processed, to provide a method for producing the same, and to provide a processed food. SOLUTION: (A) The dry germinated unpolished rice is adjusted to a starch pre-gelatinization degree of 60 to 100%, a final water content of 16 to 8%, and a general live bacterium content of <=10<4> /g. (B) The method for producing the germinated unpolished rice is characterized by germinating unpolished rice in water, while maintaining the temperature of the water in a germination water tank at 35 to 45 deg.C and stirring the unpolished rice with flowed water. (C) This method for producing the germinated unpolished rice is characterized by sufficiently mixing an organic acid with soaking water in a germination water tank in an amount of 0.1 to 0.05% converted into an acetic acid acidity in pH of <=3.8 after the finish of the germination to soak the germinated unpolished rice in the organic acid-mixed water for one to two hours, quickly draining the rice, and then heating the drained rice with steam. |
