Wuchang rice belongs to the "japonica rice" variety in rice, but its grain shape is more slender than ordinary japonica rice. The fragrance of Wuchang rice is very strong. If you grab a handful of rice grains and let them go, you can smell the obvious fragrance, and the cooked rice is also full of fragrance. From the taste point of view, Wuchang rice tastes sweeter, softer and more chewy, and the leftovers are not easy to come back.

When you buy Wuchang rice, you must look for the "GB/T 19266" execution standard number printed on the rice bag. This kind of rice is the authentic Wuchang rice.

Wuchang rice mentioned earlier belongs to typical northern rice, and a large part of people who are not used to Wuchang rice are southerners. Because the rice cooked by Wuchang rice is soft and sticky, it is not difficult for people who are used to the southern rice with distinct grains and chewiness from snacks to understand that Wuchang rice is not used to it.

Speaking of this, it is necessary to mention one of the representatives of southern rice, Simiaomi. You may feel strange to Simiao rice, but if you have eaten Cantonese gourmet clay pot rice, you must be impressed by the oily and chewy rice. When cooking authentic clay pot rice, the rice used is Simiao rice.

Simiao rice belongs to the "indica rice" variety of rice, and its shape is slender and silky. Compared with the rice cooked by Wuchang rice, the rice cooked by Simiao rice has a firmer taste, distinct grains and chewy taste, and will not feel sticky when eaten. There are many producing areas of Simiao rice, but it is the most famous one produced in Zengcheng, Guangdong Province. Zengcheng Simiao rice is also a symbol product of chinese national geography.
