So, considering the rate at which the price of foodstuffs keep increasing by the day, I decided to buy enough rice to last a while.
I went to a local market here in Southern Kaduna (where I work) to get my rice. These local markets are open only once a week, with traders and buyers from far and wide coming to make the most of it.
I was able to get local, clean rice at the rate of N1,500 per mudu (our unit of measurement here ). I bought 15 mudus, that's N22,500 and got 1 extra mudu free after scoping the mama to the best of my ability.
I think it was a good purchase considering how our brothers in the south are lamenting the cost of food over there.
What's the situation in your area?

d color of d rice looks somehow,abi na ur camera?

It’s a good deal.

I know this rice, it’s nice but it has some little stones/sand in it. If you want to prepare it, first of all parboil the rice, then you wash and filter it properly (like 6 times).

make sure the starch and stones are out totally. Excessive eating of rice mixed with stone could result to appendix issues, that’s why I don’t like these local rice .

OP, how many milk cups make one of that "mudu"?

I wonder why a seller can't remove stones. No value addition. They just buy from bush market and are after killer profit. That's why they can't export it far away.

first of all, these farmers don’t have the necessary heavy machinery equipment that can remove sand/stones from their rice and the government don’t want to help them to improve so you won’t blame them

That’s why Foreign rice will always be better than our local rice, but that doesn’t mean our local rice isn’t good. If you have time to remove the stones/sand then you can enjoy it.

from what I understand during the parboiling process, the stone usually settle down in the containers but they still somehow find themselves into the final rice because nobody wants to lost any measure of rice.

Monday market..

Congratulations to you..

You narrowly escaped the rice husks by the whiskers.

Poor beans. Not able to compete with rice in the pot.

Make sure to always parboil the rice first before cooking.

See how miserable and poor Tinubu has made Nigerians.

I miss Buhari.

The rejected stone has become the chief cornerstone, smile Tinubu well done, you have indeed relegated Nigerians. Rice that farmers use to feed fish is what humans are now rushing. It simply means we are competing with fish. Shege Promax.

Boom Dig_it!!!

See stress ontop rice tufiakwa

It’s a good price.

The only concern is when will Nigeria rice or let call it local rice will stone free and look healthy.

Looking at the rice is scary

Who color help, at the moment people will eat black colored rice if available

You bought stonefilled rice for a staggered 22k and you are proud.If border is opened,the price of this rice you bought will be lower when compare to the foreign quality rice.

OP, how many milk cups make one of that "mudu"?

16 cups. We call that mudu size tier here. The smaller mudu measure 8 cups.

Atleast u get food..some local rice are actually stone free( for those complaining about the rice), i got a free bag of local rice during Christmas and it was really good....

But because i already have foreign rice,, i decided i was going to shear the bag of local rice i was given, ofcourse i cooked from it before giving out, because i wanted to be sure there was no stone...it won't be nice to give out wat i cant eat

But the rice was very nice and all those i gave said it was very nice as well and no stone...

So ..not all local rice carry stone, and i did not select the rice before cooking

You called that a "clean" rice? Hmm

Hunger doesn't respect anybody who is penniless.

Where did you read that? That appendicitis is caused by stone in rice?!

Any time I hear southern Kaduna,na soso gaza I dey imagine....

Wait, so after cooking the rice, the stones inside will turn to beans??

It is well
