One day, I found that the small shop in front of my house was missing, and when I asked people nearby, they told me that I had become a large supermarket, which made me feel very embarrassed.
When the family bought rice, it was the same store, which was convenient and cost-effective, but now it is cheaper, but more and more people go to the supermarket, and people's shopping methods seem to have changed.
In the past, when I went to the supermarket, I always used my mobile phone to check the price of online shopping while taking the shopping cart, but now everyone is shopping and buying as if they were visiting a store, and it seems that I have completely put aside the matter of online shopping and price comparison. I don't think it's inconvenient, but these things seem to have become far away from me, and even rice can be purchased online.
Classification of meters.
However, since the rice that I was so familiar with before can be purchased online, do you have any skills in dealing with the "insiders" who know more about buying rice than me? I didn't know it, so I walked around the Internet to learn and study, which can be regarded as recharging myself. So first of all, what are the types of rice?
When I was a child, when I bought rice around the corner, there were several labels attached to the rice cabinet, probably "japonica rice", "indica rice", "glutinous rice" and the like, and these labels were quite clear under the big eyes. The traditional saying is used to describe the difference between indica and japonica rice, because the appearance of these two types of rice is really very easy to distinguish.
Indica rice is a kind of rice with a long grain and a slender shape, and it tastes more chewy, so it is mainly cultivated in the warmer areas of the south, and the most important thing is that people who eat japonica rice like northerners feel rough and disgusting.
Japonica rice is a kind of rice with short grains and a thin and round shape, which has a soft and waxy taste compared to indica rice, so it is mainly cultivated in the cold areas of the north, and the most important thing is that people who eat indica rice like southerners feel hard and disgusting.
Typical japonica rice varieties include "Chinese rice", "rice handle" and other varieties, while indica rice has "fragrant rice", "Xining indica" and so on. And glutinous rice that has nothing to do with the above two is used to make desserts, whether japonica rice, indica rice or glutinous rice is the same everywhere except that it can be hard and soft after cooking, so there is no saying that the locals follow the customs.
For example, Japan people usually have reservations about the rice they United States imports because the rice they grow United States United States is mainly short-grain japonica rice from the western region and long-grain japonica rice from the eastern region Japan.
However, after the normalization of relations between Japan and South Korea last year, the United States took the initiative to send prisoners to Japan to experience the Japanese food industry, to see how happy the Japanese really dared to try, and then the United States took the initiative to import rice to Japan This year, the Japanese have become accustomed to trying and willing to accept United States rice, and have begun to criticize Japan's local rice for not being as delicious as United States.
The importance of the standard number.
So when buying rice, is there anything else besides reading the introduction? The most important thing is to look at the "national standard code", and some supermarkets even put this kind of bag in a special counter to show that they are different from other rice.
What is the significance of this codename? The most important thing is that they directly represent the product standard. The national rice quality standard system is mainly based on the basic standard GB/T1354: this standard pays more attention to the evaluation and grading of the nutritional use of rice, and only the improvement of commercial use can be more in line with the needs of consumers.
Under the GB/T1354 system, the types of commercial tax are divided into four grades: ordinary rice, medium rice, high-quality rice and super-grade high-quality rice.
For example, medium rice needs to reach more than 70% germ integrity to be qualified, while the grades of premium and extra premium are not much to say, and the higher the standard, the higher the standard.
Therefore, when you buy rice in RMB, as long as you see that the standard number on the label starts with GB/T1354, it means that this rice is ordinary rice and is not worth buying;
However, if the prefix above the standard is replaced with GBT 19266, it is better to consider it if it is high-quality;
But if the prefix is preceded by GBT 18824, then of course this one should be recommended! So what is the grade of GBT 19266? It's Wuchang rice!
Especially in that era of promoting flying rice, Wuchang rice became popular all over the country for a while, but with the strengthening of its quality control efforts by the Wuchang municipal government, the quality of the existing Wuchang rice has gradually recovered to the time when it was actually recognized.
Although Wuchang rice is generally sold more expensive, you can't have no vision because you don't have food and a high-end life, if it's really worth the price or if it's delicious, can't you buy it? Or to distinguish the quality, this test the level of knowledge, please continue to read!
Choose high-quality Wuchang rice.
In fact, Wuchang rice is really delicious, it is the best planting conditions because of the unique geographical factors, coupled with the production protection measures of the place of origin, so that they have the advantages of japonica rice and avoid the shortcomings of indica rice, the taste is both fragrant and smooth, not greasy and very healthy and healthy. But any kind of big brand has flaws!
The most important thing is the impurities planted in non-Wuchang rice fields, because it is a substitute, no matter what kind of substitute, it is not the original, but it has similarity, so we can judge whether it is a substitute by distinguishing the similarity.
The most important point is the brightness, if the label does not indicate the brightness, then you can touch it directly with your hands; If your fingers are moist and not greasy, as long as you don't have bread, it's probably rice from the region!
The second point is the jade drop effect, that is, fill a small cup with water and then put a piece of rice in it, and judge by observing the state of the water droplets scattered on the water surface after rolling: if the number of remaining water droplets after scattering is very large, then it is likely not to be locally produced rice; If you don't want to see it, then you can try the finished form of these two types of rice after cooking, and if the white feeling is strong, it is likely to be a substitute!
The last point is more detailed;
Many people say that stickers prevent low-grade and unscrupulous traders from producing insect flavors to yellow paste or dead insects, and the rice cooked is attractive, but in fact, as long as the number of dead insects is small, there is no problem, and if you don't want to prevent insects, the way to prevent insects is to use garlic cloves to put them in the storage granary, this method is simple and effective, and it is very good to improve the level of hygiene, killing two birds with one stone!
