1. Shape. Coix seeds have a smooth surface, occasionally yellow-brown seed coat, rounded at one end, broad and slightly concave at the other, with a light brown punctate navel, and a white cross-section.

2. Color: Coix seed milky white, slightly cyan, straw beads milky white, slightly transparent, coix seed and straw beads are not suitable for food or medicine.
