Japonica rice, also known as japonica rice, corresponds to indica rice and is the finished product of rice. Its manufacturing process includes hulling, rice milling and finished product finishing. Japonica rice is rich in nutrition, which is one of the cereals we are familiar with and one of the main foods for human beings.
Japonica rice is mainly produced in the northeast of China, Japan and the Korean Peninsula, and is also widely planted in Tianjin, Jiangsu, Hubei, Henan and other places in China. The south is distributed above 1800 meters above sea level, which is relatively cold-tolerant, and is a subspecies developed for mid-latitude and higher altitude areas. Japonica rice is generally semi-transparent ovoid or ovoid, chubby, semi-transparent, with bright surface, small but high rice yield, small rice swelling, but high viscosity. The rice processed from japonica rice is japonica rice, and the rice grains are mostly oval.
The difference between indica rice and japonica rice;
1, shape
In terms of appearance conditions, the appearance of indica rice is oblong or slender, and its length is about 3-5 times of its width, so it is also called long grain rice. The color of indica rice is white and transparent, but it is also translucent and opaque. Japonica rice is also called round grain rice because of its round shape. Japonica rice is plump, oval or oval in overall shape, nearly round in cross section, hard in texture and innocent in color.
2. Afforestation land
Indica rice is suitable for planting in low latitudes. Most of the indica rice planted in southern China belongs to double-season rice or three-season rice, which means that it can be harvested two or three times a year, and the yield is amazing. Japonica rice is suitable for planting in low latitude, high latitude or high altitude areas in Shanghai. Because of its high latitude, japonica rice is a one-season rice and can only be harvested once a year. Northeast China is the main planting area of japonica rice, and Heilongjiang is also the largest grain-producing province in China.
Step 3 taste
Indica rice tastes soft, and japonica rice is famous all over the country for its elastic lubrication.
