Like our village, if not often in the south of the working friends, basically seen rice is not much.
Because our side is mainly wheat-based, in response to this matter, I also asked a few friends in the south, the same, they real see wheat is not much. Let's recognize the difference between rice and wheat.
Are rice and wheat both rice
Rice and wheat are not both rice. Only the seeds of rice can be processed into rice. Rice does not have "wheat soluble proteins".
So there is no elasticity and toughness at room temperature, but rice after "high temperature", there will be pasting - aging - the process of malleability, it can be further processed! into rice flour, rice noodles, rice cakes.

How to distinguish between rice and wheat Living environment
First of all, the easiest way to distinguish is the living environment, from the field of whether or not there is moisture, you can tell, wheat is dry land, rice is paddy field (however, there is also rice, dry rice, dry rice, then need to be based on the following situation to judge), this is the easiest way to judge. This is the simplest way to judge.
Shape
From the thickness of the leaves, the leaves of wheat are thicker than the leaves of rice, which are longer and flatter, and the color is also different, if you can't see it easily from the leaves, then go on to the next page.

From the shape and form of wheat, the color of the husk of wheat looks like yellow. But it is more of a darker color, the surface is smoother to the touch, of which, there is a groove on the ventral surface (good judgement, isn't it?), and when it is not de-hulled, wheat is oval in shape.
The color of the shell of rice, also looks yellow, but is more of a golden yellow, touch the surface is a little rough, when not hulled, the rice grain is more slender.
Growth habit
Then again, it is from the growth habit to judge, wheat is a temperate long sunshine plants, while rice is a kind of high temperature, humidity, short sunshine plants, if not good to understand, to give a small example, wheat can be grown in the winter, and rice can not.

Functional Uses
Finally, it is analyzed from the uses, wheat can be ground into flour to make food such as steamed buns, buns, noodles, and so on, whereas rice is made into rice to make congee, steamed rice, and so on.

In summary, in fact, rice and wheat is very good to distinguish, only that some of us have not actually seen it, I hope that this article, can give you some help, in the real encounter with these two crops, can be correctly judged, will not make a joke.
