To get rid of any moisture before roasting it, it must have air, sun, and sometimes heat. According to Harvesting and Processing in Canada rice would be dried on many different things such as, woven mats, animal skins, layers of grass or a sheet of birch bark sewn together called apakwaan. While the rice is spread out, it was then picked over to remove any pieces of stalks, leaves, and insects that might be in the batch. If for some reason they couldn't get all the rice to dry immediately, they would then preserve it by digging holes in the soil by lakes and keeping it in water for up to a week.
