Golden rice is a genetically modified rice.

Transgenic rice with a golden appearance can be obtained by transferring the carotene converting enzyme system into the endosperm of rice through transgenic technology, which is called "Golden Rice", or Golden Rice in English. Rich in carotene and vitamin A, developed by Syngenta.

Its main function, which is superior to normal rice, is to help the body increase the absorption of vitamin A. This rice variety is called "golden rice" because of its yellow color. Skeptics argue that Golden Rice could pose a serious threat to the environment and food security, and that it does not address the underlying causes of vitamin A deficiency: poverty and a lack of diverse diets.
