I was curious and looked it up and I think this is what it’s related to. Tho 35% I guess is lower than a lot? > Partially polished rice is rice which was polished while partially leaving behind some parts of the germ (embryo) and rice bran on brown rice. The Germ and rice bran are rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, minerals, calcium, iron, vitamin B1 and vitamin E. The less polished it is, the higher is the nutritional value. Partially polished rice has several levels of polishing, such as half polished and 70% polished, and the bigger the percentage is, the closer it gets to fully polished rice.

Edit: nvm it’s related to max percentage of broken rice ([see other comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/KitchenConfidential/s/Oa6N8VD0nV)). So I guess I learned 2 things with this thread!
Plastic pellets
Gonna guess it’s something like this https://www.parboiledricethailand.com/whiterice35broken.html plus the writing on OPs packaging looks Thai as well
It might be referring to the amount of whole vs. broken pieces of rice.
According to ancestry statistics either irish or cherokee
I think it’s the level to which it had been polished.
bugs. it’s probably bugs.

Polystyrene
