The invention discloses a rice processing method comprising a cleaning stage for removing rice impurities to obtain cleaned paddy, a husking stage for removing husks of the cleaned paddy and separating the husks and the paddy, and a rice milling stage for milling and polishing brown rice obtained in the husking stage; in the rice milling stage, the brown rice is milled through a plurality of ricemilling machines, and the multiple rice milling machines at least comprise sand roller rice milling machines for primary rice milling operation, and iron roller jet rice milling machines for final rice milling operation; in addition, rice is graded according to the rice grain size before polishing treatment, and the rice is sorted on the basis of color after polishing treatment; and variegated badrice is removed. The rice produced with the method is smoother in surface, more uniform in grain size and purer in color, and the rice quality is improved.
