The invention discloses a processing method for improving the transparency of superior eating rice. The method comprises the steps that the superior eating rice with the water content lower than 14.5% is placed in a rice dampening mixing machine; according to the actual water content of the rice to be processed and the optimal water content for keeping the transparency, the unit dampening amount is calculated, so that an automatic water spraying device of the rice dampening mixing machine is adjusted to evenly spray water to the surface of low-water-content rice which rolls up and down and rolls left and right constantly and to achieve even stirring and mixing; the dampened rice is stored for 24 h to enable the moisture attached to the surface of the rice to sufficiently permeates into the husk and coarse rice, moisture redistribution is achieved, finally the optimal water content needed by rice processing is achieved, and then the rice enters the follow-up rice processing procedures such as rice hilling and rice milling. By selecting the appropriate rice processing water content, the transparency of the superior eating rice is significantly improved, and the superior eating rice has the appearance quality competing with that of common superior rice. The processing method ensures that the rice is safely stored.
