2, through the sense of smell: real fragrant rice has a faint rice fragrance, which is more natural, while fake fragrant rice may have an odor, or the fragrance is surprisingly fragrant, which is caused by the addition of essence.
3. Soaking: Soak the rice in water. If the color changes, stratification occurs or even fades, it means that it may be fake fragrant rice, and the real fragrant rice should not have the above symptoms.
4. By means of purchase: when purchasing, you should choose reputable merchants or supermarkets, and try to avoid buying fragrant rice from unknown sources, like some small workshops, which may produce such fake fragrant rice. There is also the purchase price within the normal range. If you see a fragrant rice that is particularly cheap, you should keep your eyes open.
