PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing functional rice in which further more nutrient components such as calcium, beta-glucan and saponin are made stably impregnated with rice used for staple food.SOLUTION: A method for producing functional rice into which nutrient components are made self-absorbed comprises: a naturally derived nutrient solution production step S100 of mixing a naturally derived nutrient component and water, thereby to prepare a naturally derived nutrient solution； an agitation equipment feed step S300 of mixing 20 to 40 weight ratio of the naturally derived nutrient solution with 100 weight ratio of an organic sprouted brown rice, thereby to prepare a mixture, and feeding the mixture into a cylindrical agitator capable of rotating and moving up and down； a rotating and moving up and down agitation step S400 of agitating the organic sprouted brown rice and the naturally derived nutrient solution by rotating and moving up and down the cylindrical agitator under constant temperature, pressure and electric condition, thereby to produce nutrient rice into which nutrient components are made self-absorbed inside rice grains； and a dry step S500 of warm-air drying the nutrient rice into which the nutrient components are made self-absorbed inside the rice grains taken from the agitator after the rotating and moving up and down agitation step.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】主食で使われる米に、さらに多いカルシウム、ベータグルカン、サポニンなどの栄養成分を安定的に含浸させた、機能性米の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】天然来由の栄養成分と水を混合して天然由来の栄養液を製造する天然由来の栄養液の製造段階Ｓ１００と、有機農発芽玄米100重量比に対して、前記の天然由来の栄養液20～40重量比を混合して、昇降回転が可能な円筒状の撹拌設備に投入する撹拌設備の投入段階Ｓ３００と、前記の撹拌設備を利用して、前記の有機農発芽玄米と前記の天然由来の栄養液を、一定の温度と圧力及び電気条件の下で、昇降回転撹拌させて米粒の中まで自家吸収させた栄養米を製造する昇降回転の撹拌段階Ｓ４００と、前記の昇降回転の撹拌段階を経た米粒の中まで自家吸収させた栄養米を前記の撹拌設備から排出させ、温風乾燥する乾燥段階Ｓ５００と、を含む、栄養成分を自家吸収された機能性米の製造方法。【選択図】図１
