Why do small black bugs grow in brown rice and how should they be stored?

When the weather warms up, rice noodle insects naturally occur, and can be eliminated by the following methods.

Poplar leaf pest control method.

After the rice noodles are insected, the rice noodles are moved to a dry and sealed container, and the freshly picked poplar leaves are placed in the container and sealed with the rice noodles. After four or five days, the storage container is opened to find that the larvae and eggs have been killed, and then the rice noodles are filtered through a dustpan or sieve and ready to eat.

Cryo-deworming.

Rice noodles that have been left for a long time are most susceptible to insects in summer, while the insect growth rate is lower in winter. In this case, the remaining rice and noodles stored after the winter are put into clean pockets and sent to the freezer compartment of the refrigerator in batches to undergo the torture of 24 hours of "cold winter". After such treatment, the rice noodles are not easy to grow insects after the arrival of summer, probably because the rice worms and flour insects cannot resist the ruthlessness of the "cold winter" and self-extinguish in the bud.

Cool ventilation method.

Insert chopsticks into the rice noodles of the raw insects, and wait for the insects on the middle surface of the rice noodles to climb up and remove the insects. Then, the rice noodles are spread in a cool and ventilated place, and the insects in the depths of the rice noodles will crawl out of the hot rice noodles. This method is simple and convenient, but it takes a long time to get rid of insects.

Basket and sieve method.

In order to shorten the insect removal time, after removing the insects on the surface, you can use a basket made of bamboo or wicker to remove the insects in the flour; The rice is sifted through a sieve made of bamboo strips. Then, it is spread in a cool and ventilated place to dry to remove all kinds of insects in the rice noodles.

How to store rice in Futian.

1.Zanthoxylum pepper insect control method: Zanthoxylum pepper is a natural antioxidant, and has a special smell, boil pepper water in a pot, soak the cloth bag in it after cooling, take it out and dry it, pour the dried rice into the treated cloth bag, and then wrap some peppercorns with gauze, divide them into various parts of the rice, and put them in a cool and ventilated place after tying the bag.

2.Kelp mildew and insecticide method: Dried kelp has strong moisture absorption ability, and also has the effect of inhibiting mold and insecticide.

Mix kombu and rice in a 1:100 ratio by weight, remove the kombu and dry it a week later, and then put it back in the rice bag to make the rice dry and resistant to mold and insects.

3.Moisture absorption method of plant ash: sprinkle about one inch thick plant ash on the bottom layer of the rice tank, spread white paper or gauze, and then pour in the dried rice, seal it, and place it in a dry and cool place, so that the processed rice can be stored for a long time.

4.If there are raw worms in rice stored at home, the worms can be sieved out through a sieve, or the rice can be dried in a cool and ventilated place. Do not expose the rice to the sun, because this will not only make the insects afraid of light burrow into the rice layer, but also the rice grains will quickly dehydrate, become rough and broken, and will not play a role in removing insects at all.

Sifted rice, to choose a reasonable packaging bag, the best choice of cloth bags, do not use woven bags or sacks, let alone plastic bags. The old cloth bag should be cleaned before use to prevent insect eggs from attaching. After the rice is bagged, a small packet of peppercorns wrapped in cloth and a few cloves of garlic should be placed at the sealing place, and the mouth of the bag should be tied tightly with a string until it is opened when eating.

Rice bags are stored in a ventilated, dry place, and padded with bricks or wooden boards, keeping a certain distance from the ground to improve ventilation.

Take it out and dry it... Rice worms will run on their own when they see sunlight.

It should be because of the long time, coupled with the damp and dark, it is inevitable that there will be worms.

1. If the degree of insects is not very serious, you can eat it.

Brown rice worms are a normal phenomenon, this rice worm itself does not have a virus, if the worm is not too serious, the rice worm and its metabolic waste are screened out, and then the rice is washed clean, or can be eaten normally.

2. When the rice has not been harvested, it may have insect eggs, and the processing method of brown rice is relatively simple, there are many nutrients retained in the rice, but the eggs in the rice have not been eliminated when it has been processed, and the rice is at the bottom of the red water activity, the storage environment temperature reaches more than 20 °C, and the humidity reaches 65%-95%, the eggs will hatch out of the rice worm, and the rice worm will absorb enough nutrients in the rice, and it will grow and develop, and even reproduce the next generation.

Therefore, if the processed brown rice is not stored properly, it is easy to absorb moisture, heat, mold, and insects, especially in a high temperature and humidity environment, it is more prone to insects.

3. If the brown rice worms are not very serious, you can store the rice in the freezer compartment and freeze it for 24 hours. It should be noted that the frozen rice worms will not be completely frozen to death, once they are in a warm environment, they will wake up, so remember to pick them out in time after freezing.

41.You can choose some items that emit special smells, such as garlic, kelp, orange peel, etc., take a small part and put it in a cloth bag, put it in the grain, to prevent insects from approaching the rice noodles. It is best to use kelp, because the dried kelp has a hygroscopic effect, and it also has the effect of inhibiting mold and insecticide, put dried kelp in brown rice, take out the kelp every 10 days, dry it and then put it back into the rice, which can prevent mildew and insects in brown rice.

2.Take a small handful of peppercorns, pack them in a few small cloth bags, put them in different positions of the rice box, and cover the rice box, which can play a role in preventing brown rice worms, because pepper is a natural antioxidant substance with a special smell, and rice worms are sensitive to smells, and they naturally avoid the smell of peppercorns.

3.In addition to putting Sichuan pepper directly, you can also use Sichuan pepper boiling water to soak the container of rice, soak it for about 10 minutes and then dry it, which is used to hold rice, and can also control brown rice insects.

4.Take a small glass of baijiu and put it into the baijiu together with the cup, pay attention to the mouth of the cup should be higher than the rice noodles, let the flavor of the liquor naturally dissipate, and then close the lid of the container tightly, which can effectively prevent insects.

Brown rice is prone to insects mainly due to the following two reasons:

1.Brown rice is high in oil and moisture, which tend to attract insects and bacteria.

2.Brown rice can be contaminated during processing and storage of lots. If the humidity and temperature of the environment where the brown rice is stored are high, the eggs will easily hatch, resulting in the growth of insects in the brown rice.

Therefore, in order to maintain the hygiene and safety of brown rice, it is necessary to pay attention to the dry, ventilated environment and avoid moisture as much as possible.

1. Because brown rice contains high levels of oil and moisture, these components are easy to attract insects and bacteria to breed.

2. Brown rice may be contaminated during the overshoot and storage process.

When storing brown rice, brown rice needs to be in a dry and ventilated environment, otherwise the brown rice will become moldy and breed insect eggs.

1. Put the raw insect rice in a cool and ventilated place, let the insects crawl out slowly, and then sieve again.

2. If there are more insects in rice, phosphorus zinc and organic acid can also be used to fumigate. The specific method is as follows: in the veranda or idle room, put the rice bag of raw insects together in a well-sealed plastic bag, that is, the fumigation bag, and then put a cup or wan in the fumigation bag, and put 50 grams of vinegar in it.

3. If there is not a lot of rice with insects, you can put the rice with insects in a plastic bag, tie the bag tightly, put it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and take it out after 48 hours to kill the borers in the rice.

Black rice is also very nutritious and valuable, many people are worried that black rice will have insects like rice, such an expensive black rice will have insects is too wasteful, the following is an introduction to black rice will have insects If it is not stored properly, it will have insects.

Does black rice give birth to worms.

Because there are many nutrients in black rice, it can also provide nutrients for various pests, so if black rice is not stored well, it is easy to grow insects.

Why does black rice grow worms?

The Miri long worm is not strange and is a natural phenomenon.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons: one is that when the grain is still in the field, it carries the eggs of rice worms. Black rice has a high starch content, followed by protein, and generally does not produce insects because the water activity value in black rice is very low (i.e., the water content is very small), and the growth and development of insect eggs requires the presence of water.

When the temperature of the black rice reaches 20 -40 and the humidity reaches 65 ° -95 °, it only takes a week for the eggs to hatch. The surrounding black rice provides them with plenty of nutrients, which is good for growth and development and reproduction for the next generation.

Another reason is that every household buys rice every year, and insects are born every year, and some insect eggs are hidden in the bottom of the rice tank, the cracks of rice bags, the cracks of the walls, and the cracks in the ground, and it is difficult for people to remove them one by one. When there is black rice in the house and the climate is suitable, these eggs hatch and crawl into the rice bag, and start to nurture the next generation.

How to identify black rice.

1.Look: Look at the color and appearance of black rice.

Generally, black rice is shiny, the size of the rice grains is uniform, there are few broken rice, bursting loins (cracks on the rice grains), no insects, and no impurities. The color of inferior and inferior black rice is dull, the size of the rice grains is uneven, the fullness is poor, there are many broken rice, there are insects, there are lumps, etc. For dyed black rice, because the black color of black rice is concentrated in the cortex, the endosperm is still white, therefore, consumers can scrape off all the outer cortex of the rice grains to observe whether the rice grains are white, if not, it is very likely to be artificially dyed black rice.

2.Smell: Smell the smell of black rice.

Take a small amount of black rice in your hand, take a hot breath on the black miha, and immediately smell the smell. High-quality black rice has a normal fragrance and no other peculiar smells. Slightly peculiar smell or mildew odor, sour odor, rotten smell and abnormal smell are inferior and inferior black rice.

3.Taste: Taste the taste of black rice. A small amount of black rice can be chewed in your mouth, or grated before tasting. High-quality black rice tastes good, slightly sweet, and does not have any peculiar smell. Black rice with no taste, slight peculiar smell, sourness, bitterness and other undesirable tastes is inferior or inferior.

Why is black rice black?

Plant pigments. The red color of strawberries, the yellow color of oranges, the green color of leaves, the black color of black beans, the blue color of orchids, and so on are all produced by plant pigments. There are two types of plant pigments, fat-soluble and water-soluble.

Anthocyanidin. The black color of black rice comes precisely from its water-soluble plant pigment, anthocyanins. When plant cells are damaged, anthocyanins will seep out and dissolve into the water outside, causing a "color loss" phenomenon.

The term anthocyanin may be unfamiliar to everyone, but its figure is all over the natural world, everyone must be familiar with it, just emerging toon buds, bright red rose petals, falling fiery red maple leaves, and "acacia" red beans have its figure.

Rice is a staple food that is more common in life, it is generally steamed and eaten, many people eat rice, they will find that there will be small black worms in the rice, this is a more common phenomenon, mainly caused by improper preservation, generally if there is no other peculiar smell or long hair mold, it can still be eaten, if there is already a musty smell, or other peculiar smell, it is not suitable to eat.

Can you still eat small black worms when the rice comes out.

It depends.

1. If there are only a few insects in the rice, the rice can continue to be eaten.

Rice is highly nutritious and can easily breed insects. If there are insects in the rice, but the insect situation is not serious, and there are no insect eggs, long hair, peculiar smell, etc., the following methods can be taken to treat and eat:

When it is removed during the rice washing process, these insects float on the surface of the water and are washed away.

2) Put the keyed rice in a cool and ventilated place, let the insects crawl out slowly, and then sift it.

2. If there are a lot of insects in the rice, you can't continue to eat it.

If there are a lot of insects in the rice, and there is a musty smell and insect eggs on the surface of the rice grains, it means that the rice is seriously affected by insects. In this case, the rice contains some pathogenic or toxic bacteria or molds that can no longer be eaten or it will be harmful to health.

How don't rice grow small black bugs.

1. Low temperature storage.

The eggs in rice need to be drunk at the right temperature and humidity to develop into insect males, so the rice is kept at low temperatures. Zen this cryopreservation can be refrigerated or frozen. Keep it sealed when refrigerating and thaw it after refrigeration before serving.

2. Sealed storage.

Rice can be stored in dry and airtight containers, such as plastic bottles, crockery, or rice jars, and then placed in a cool, dry place. In this way, the rice can be isolated from the air and prevent the rice from being eaten by insects and spoiled, which is very convenient to use.

How long can rice sit out.

There are three types of rice packaging: vacuum, plain, and bulk. Different packaging methods also vary greatly in terms of storage time.

Generally speaking, the shelf life of vacuum-packed rice can be up to 12 months, the shelf life of ordinary packaged rice is about 6 months, and the shelf life of bulk rice is relatively short, which is 3-6 months.

It is not just the packaging method that affects the shelf life of rice, but also the moisture of the rice itself, the temperature and humidity in the air, and the storage method.

Due to the high humidity of the air in the south, the shelf life of the same rice is shorter than that in the north.

Rice remains enzymatic after harvest and can gradually decrease over time. Water and nutrients are also lost in rice. Its quality gradually decreases during storage.

Expired rice is not completely inedible, but if it develops mildew and produces aflatoxins, do not eat it.
