China is the biggest producer of rice in the world where 200 tons are produced every year. However, even as China rice production rises, so does the health concerns about the quality of rice as various reports and news have revealed that Chinese rice has a huge plastic content.
In fact, a report in the Korean Times has even shown that some Chinese companies sell artificial rice that is manufactured from plastic and potato starch but with a flavor and aroma of steamed rice. The spurious Chinese plastic rice is then mixed with organic rice to mislead consumers.
WATER TEST
Take one tablespoon of Chinese rice and pour into a glass of water. Organic rice will fall to the bottom while plastic rice will float.
FIRE TEST
Take a handful of rice and burn the same by using matchsticks or lighter. If the rice particles are made of plastic, then it will release plastic smell immediately after burning.
MOLD TEST
Boil rice and keep it in a bottle for 2-3 days. If the boiled rice does not get affected by fungus, then it happens to be plastic rice and not the usual rice.
BOIL TEST
Fake rice can be identified while boiling. If the rice is made of plastic, then it will form a thick layer on the pot at the time of boiling.
