The excellent environment provided by nature, the rice fields in Thailand can still see the dew on crops until noon every day, the endless clouds in the sky can avoid the sun exposure, and the suitable temperature in the tropical monsoon climate have created the fragrant rice in Thailand. According to Thai scientists, jasmine fragrant rice contains abnormal genes, and in its gene map, eight genes are in the "off" state, which is the main reason for the fragrance of rice.
However, as the biggest feature of Thai fragrant rice, the fragrance is not natural. The reason why Thai fragrant rice smells fragrant is that this rice has been artificially mutated and its DNA sequence has been artificially modified.
Kasetsart University has synthesized many aroma genes into rice genes, among which the main aroma is emitted by acetylpyrroline, which is similar to the aroma of pandanus leaves. This kind of rice is called "Thai jasmine fragrant rice" and has been patented.
How to buy rice
1, be optimistic about the implementation standards on the packaging: the implementation standards are clearly marked on the rice packaging, and different varieties of rice have different implementation standards. For example, GB/T 19266, GB/T 18824, GB/T20040 and GB/T22438 respectively correspond to Wuchang Rice, Panjin Rice, Fangzheng Rice and Yuanyang Rice.
What kind of rice do you want to buy? Look at the name of rice and the corresponding implementation standards. If you want to eat rice, it is recommended to choose Wuchang Daohuaxiang rice.
2, look at the appearance: look at whether the appearance of rice is complete, not broken or yellow, whether the color is bright, normal beige is not high, too bright may be polished rice. In addition, if there are one or more transverse cracks on the rice, it means that the rice has exploded, which is caused by the imbalance between the inside and outside after the rice suddenly appears heated during the drying process. Rice tastes rotten and endogenous, with poor taste and reduced nutritional value.
3, smell: there is a clear fragrance of normal rice, no odor, and the fragrance is not strong.
4. Touch: Normal rice has no greasy feeling. If it is put in water with oily flowers, it may be that rice is mixed with industrial oil.
