How to identify it?

What is green rice?

Green rice refers to planting, breeding and applying organic fertilizers under pollution-free conditions, without high toxicity and high residual pesticides, and processing and production under standard environment, production technology and sanitary standards. safe, high-quality, green and nutritious rice recognized and marked by the authoritative organization. Green rice is produced according to a specific mode of production and recognized by relevant national specialized agencies, allowing the use of pollution-free, pollution-free, safe, high-quality and nutritious rice marked by green food.

Green rice has full grains, hard texture, clear and transparent color, bright oil and rich flavor after cooking, and high rice yield, low stickiness and crisp rice after cooking. Green rice has high nutritional value and is rich in protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. The cross section of green rice is flat and round, the color is white and transparent, and there are also translucent and opaque.

How much is the price of green rice per jin?

Green rice production requirements are higher, the output is also less, so the price is more expensive than ordinary rice, about 5-30 yuan per jin, local prices are different, it is recommended that we go to the regular supermarket to buy.

Third, how to identify green rice?

1. Hardness: the hardness of rice grain is mainly determined by the content of protein. The stronger the hardness of rice is, the higher the protein content is, the higher the transparency is. Generally speaking, new rice is harder than old rice, low-moisture rice is harder than high-moisture rice, and late rice is harder than early rice.

2. Look at the belly white: there is often an opaque white spot on the belly of rice, which is called "heart white" in the center of the rice grain and "white" in the outer abdomen. The rice protein content of abdominal white part is lower, and it contains more starch. The rice with high moisture content, unripe and immature rice after harvest has a larger belly white.

3. Look at the burst waist: the burst waist is caused by the rapid heat of rice in the drying process, after the phenomenon of rapid heat, the internal and external contraction of rice grain is out of balance. When the fried waist rice is eaten, it is rotten outside and raw inside, and the nutritional value is reduced. Therefore, when selecting rice, we should carefully observe the surface of the rice grain. If one or more transverse cracks appear on the rice grain, it means that it is a burst waist rice.

4. Look at the yellow grains: the yellowing of rice grains is caused by chemical reactions of some nutrients in rice under certain conditions, or by microorganisms in rice grains. The flavor and taste of these yellow grains are poor, so when choosing and buying, we must observe the amount of yellow grain rice. In addition, there are more "dead green" grains in rice grains, and the quality of rice is also poor.

5. Look at the new age: the aging phenomenon of rice is serious, the color and luster of aged rice becomes darker, the stickiness decreases, and the original aroma of rice is lost. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully observe the color of the rice grain. The rice with gray powder or white grooves on the surface is old rice. The more it is, the older the rice is. At the same time, it is normal to pick up the rice and smell it. If there is a moldy smell, it is Chen rice. In addition, to see if there are insect erosion grains in the rice grains, if there are insect erosion grains and insect corpses, it also means that it is Chen rice. The mildew of rice can be identified mainly from the color and smell of rice.
