How to identify genetically modified rice and how to tell if rice is genetically modified

Genetically modified rice is very transparent in color, and there is a lack of starch in the rice; Ordinary rice will be a little whitish in color. Genetically modified rice rice water is shiny and free of impurities; Ordinary rice is whitish and has small black impurities. When cooking porridge, the soup cooked by genetically modified rice is not thick and shiny; Whereas, ordinary rice soup is yellow in color and thick.

This is because genetically modified rice has a short growth cycle and cannot effectively absorb starch.

According to the "Measures for the Hygiene Management of Genetically Modified Food" promulgated by the Ministry of Health, if food products contain genetically modified ingredients, the packaging should be marked with the 'genetically modified label'. The law gives consumers the right to know and the right to choose, and the labeling of genetically modified products should be clear to consumers at a glance.

Several criteria for judging genetically modified foods:

1. Season. In addition to greenhouse vegetables, other out-of-season foods are prone to be genetically modified.

2. Color. What is different from the traditional one is definitely genetically modified, such as colored cotton and colored peppers.

3. Size. Traditionally, tomatoes also have a certain size, for example: a small tomato as big as a thumb is definitely genetically modified.

Another example is soybeans, also called soybeans, which are made of tofu, the kind of beans made of soy milk, which should be shaped like animal offal: the waist looks like a little flat, but the current soybeans are all round, much larger, and pea-like soybeans, with a high yield, which is genetically modified.

4. Taste. Traditional corn is generally yellow corn, white corn, slightly sweet, and now popular sweet corn, its sweetness is very high, undoubtedly genetically modified.

5. Pests. All crops that pests like to patronize are not genetically modified, and all crops that pests are afraid of, that is, there are no pests, or few pests, are genetically modified.

6. Output. Genetically modified crops are generally produced much higher than conventional crops in the first few years.

Although the sale of genetically modified rice is prohibited in the Chinese market, it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous merchants who will ** genetically modified rice. So how do you identify genetically modified rice?

1. Look at rice worms. Rice with insects is certainly not genetically poisonous.

2. Taste. Natural rice rice is soft and fragrant, and it doesn't take much effort to chew, and the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it. Genetically modified rice, on the other hand, is harder, chewy and grinding, has no fragrance, sticks to the teeth, and tastes like rubber.

3. Wash rice with water. If so, it is natural rice, and it is the starch of natural rice that makes the water turbid. If you stir for a while, the rice washing water is still only faint and light milky white, that is genetically modified rice.

4. Boil the rice in water. One is to have enough time to cook rice, and the other is to have enough time to cook porridge, look at the changes in rice grains, natural rice will bloom, and rice soup will be very sticky and thick, because that is the effect of starch, sticky, thick, fragrant; And the genetically modified rice, although it will also bulge, will not bloom, the rice grains are basically intact, and the soup is thin.

5. Pinch by hand. Press with your fingers a little harder, and the natural rice will break and spread out as soon as you press it, and the fracture will be irregular, feeling "a mess"; Genetically modified rice, on the other hand, is very "strong", does not crack, does not disperse, even if it is pinched and scattered vigorously, it is also a complete small particle like a rubber particle, and the fracture is very regular.

6. Soak the rice in water. Natural rice is "too soft", and cracks will spread out after soaking for a long time, stir for a while, and you can see a cloudy or thick powdery-white rice soup; And the genetically modified rice is still intact.

Looking at the appearance, because the growth cycle of genetically modified rice is short, it cannot effectively absorb starch, so the color of rice, rice water and rice soup will show different traits from ordinary rice due to the lack of starch, and genetically modified rice is more transparent and free of impurities.

Look**, its price is generally lower than that of ordinary supermarkets**. Another look at rice worms, which can attract rice worms generally belongs to non-GMO rice. The porridge soup cooked in genetically modified rice is not thick and shiny.
