1. Introduction
Rice is a type of ingredient and staple food obtained from the rice plant. Rice grains are typically white, brown, or dark red in color and contain various nutrients. Rice grains are the inner part of paddy rice after being milled to remove the husk. From rice, we can create dishes such as bread, rice cakes, etc. Rice flavor is no longer unfamiliar, it is a distinctive taste derived from roasted rice, sweet and rich, giving us a sense of peace and gentleness.
2. Uses
Although rice grains are small, they have numerous highly nutritious properties. According to research, rice contains important nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, fiber, various minerals (mainly calcium and phosphorus), as well as vitamins B1, B2, B6, and PP. Therefore, rice has excellent benefits for health and beauty, particularly in cleaning household items. Here are some uses of rice.
2.1. Cleaning bottles and jars
Cleaning tall and narrow bottles can be challenging with regular cleaning tools. However, you can simply take 1-2 tablespoons of raw rice and pour them into the bottle/jar. Then, add some warm water to the dishwashing water and shake vigorously to let the rice reach every corner of the container. Rinse with clean water afterward. The dirt and dust adhering to the inner surfaces of the bottle or jar will be removed.
2.2. Moisture absorption for phones
If your phone gets wet after being dropped in water and you cannot immediately have it repaired, you can use a home moisture absorption method for your phone as follows: Remove the phone battery and place both the phone and battery in a container of Vietnamese rice flavor. The rice will absorb moisture from the phone. You can also apply this method to watches.

To eliminate odors, simply pour rice into the grinder or mill and run it until the rice turns into powder. The coffee or spice odors adhering to the grinder or mill will be eliminated. You can also utilize the rice powder after grinding for beauty purposes, such as mixing it with coconut oil or olive oil for massage, exfoliation, or facial masks.
