"Mom, rice, edible oil, light soy sauce at home, dark soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, dish soap, laundry detergent and other heavier daily necessities, just place an order in the online mall to buy it, take rice as an example, a bag of at least 20 kilograms, you and your father carry home from the supermarket, it is hard enough, it is better to let me buy it online, send it to the door, how convenient and worry-free."
My parents are accustomed to going to the supermarket to choose all kinds of goods and ingredients, or take rice as an example, they think that when they go to the supermarket to choose, they can see it with their own eyes, you can hold the rice in your hand and check it carefully, as well as the detailed explanation and guidance of the supermarket staff, and most importantly, they always feel that the promotional price in the supermarket is quite affordable.
The rice in the supermarket does have a promotion every month, and it is also different brands and manufacturers. Therefore, the rice on my table is also "linked" with the supermarket, sometimes I eat round grain rice, sometimes I eat long grain rice, sometimes I eat rice cooked in the rice cooker, the rice is fragrant, the taste is soft, the more I chew, the sweeter it is, and sometimes the boiled rice is either hard or soft, and if I eat a little more, it will be flatulent.
Whenever this happens, my mother will blame my dad, saying that my dad is not serious enough to cook rice, either the water for the rice is less or the water is too much, and the second elder has never thought that it is the problem of rice, because of this reason, the family has also replaced several rice cookers.
But the reality is that my parents only buy rice at the promotional price in the supermarket, and they buy which rice has a discount. Over the years, the family has eaten Wuchang rice, silk miao rice, Thai fragrant rice and other kinds of rice, there are long-grained and round-grained, tossing and turning, and finally they came to the conclusion that the brown rice sold in the grain and oil store in the community is the best. That's because there is only one brand of brown rice in the community grain and oil store, and any time you buy it, that brand of brown rice is the same flavor.
Brown rice is unpalatable, but my parents think that brown rice is the most suitable for making egg fried rice. I don't like sweet and sour pork ribs, the braised pork is not fragrant, and even my mother's favorite braised beef and braised tripe have no appetite. The only thing I like is the pork rib soup soaked rice, and the reason is that the fat in the pork rib soup soaks the brown rice, and the taste changes, and it is indeed delicious, and the main credit is that the pork rib soup is delicious.
When buying rice in the supermarket, I believe that you have been buying bulk rice for a long time, and like my parents, you have had the experience of buying bulk rice, which is more intuitive. You must have bought rice of different lengths, there are long strips of rice, there are also that kind of round rice, so do you know what kind of rice is good?
1. What is the classification of rice?
In order to explain the difference between long-grain rice and round-grain rice, we must first understand the classification of rice, and round-grain rice and long-grain rice can actually correspond to the categories in the rice classification.
1. Rice is divided into three categories, indica rice, japonica rice and glutinous rice, japonica rice is what everyone calls round-grain rice, indica rice is long-grain rice, glutinous rice is simpler, and the ingredients used to make glutinous rice balls, rice cakes and other dim sum cakes are used.
2. Indica rice, also known as long rice, fairy rice, is made of indica non-waxy rice, it belongs to a special type of rice, slender, beige whiter, less transparent than other types, indica rice has strong water absorption, greater expansion, and higher rice yield.
According to the harvest season of rice, it is divided into early indica rice and late indica rice, the early indica rice grain will be relatively shorter, and the viscosity is worse than that of late indica rice, and the late indica rice grain is slender and flat, oily and of better quality.
Japonica rice is also called japonica chestnut rice, the rice yield is high, the rice grain swelling is small, but the viscosity is large, the japonica rice is generally oval granular, more round, translucent, the surface is bright, small.
Japonica rice is also divided into two kinds: early japonica rice and late japonica rice, early japonica rice has more belly white and less hard plasmids, containing about 18% amylose, and late indica rice has less belly white, more hard grains, containing about 15% amylose, the rice grains are oval or round, and the rice grains are plump and thick.
3. The rice processed from japonica rice is japonica rice, and the rice processed from indica rice is indica rice, which is divided into first-class rice, second-class rice, third-grade rice, and fourth-grade rice according to the processing accuracy of rice.
2. What is the difference between long-grain rice and round-grain rice?
The difference between long grain rice and round grain rice can actually be said to be the difference between japonica rice and indica rice, in general, japonica rice is more suitable for cooking porridge, cooking balls and other snacks, while indica rice is more suitable for cooking rice, making fried rice and cooking porridge. In the classification of rice above, the differences between japonica rice and indica rice are briefly introduced, and the following will be expanded to tell you.
1. First of all, let's talk about the difference between japonica rice and indica rice in taste, we have already understood, the difference between japonica rice and indica rice in appearance, one is round grain rice, one is long grain rice, in daily life, everyone is actually most concerned about which rice is more delicious and which rice is more nutritious.
2. Indica rice is also long-grain rice, and its viscosity is worse than that of japonica rice, so after the indica rice is cooked into rice, it will look very loose and will not stick together. In the process of cooking rice, the amount of water should be slightly more, so that the taste of the cooked rice will not be so hard. The taste of indica rice is harder, and the disadvantage is that it is more difficult to digest than japonica rice, but the taste of indica rice will be more fragrant, and indica rice can be used when making egg fried rice.
3. Japonica rice is round-grain rice, with good viscosity, and the rice will stick together after cooking, compared with indica rice, the amount of water when cooking rice is slightly more, and the cooked rice will be very soft and glutinous. Compared with indica rice, japonica rice is easier to digest, because it is softer and the taste is not as good as indica rice, so japonica rice is more suitable for cooking rice and porridge.
4. There are many housewives who usually consider the nutritional content of rice when choosing japonica rice and indica rice, in fact, whether it is japonica rice or indica rice, the general nutritional content is relatively the same, but some small amounts of trace elements are different. When you choose japonica rice and indica rice, the main basis is your personal taste or the taste of your family. Let's keep in mind that indica rice is long-grain rice, which is relatively hard after being boiled into rice, and the taste is more suitable for some people, while japonica rice is round grain rice, which has a softer and glutinous taste.
5. The main production areas of indica rice are Lianghu, Liangguang, Jiangxi, Sichuan and other provinces, mostly in the south, while the production areas of japonica rice are concentrated in North China and Northeast China, mainly in the north.
6. From the perspective of storage, if you buy bagged rice, especially vacuum packed, you can store it reasonably according to the shelf life on the bag without unpacking.
Whether it is round grain rice or long grain rice, they correspond to indica rice and japonica rice, when stored in the rice tank at home, there is a possibility of worms, and the taste will decline after the worms, so it is recommended that everyone buy small bags of rice in daily life, which can not only eat fresh rice, but also do not have to worry about worms in the rice tank.
3. Whether it is indica rice or japonica rice, how should you choose when buying it in the supermarket?
There are many varieties of high-quality rice in our country, such as Wuchang rice, silk miao rice, etc., and all kinds of high-quality rice are regional, and only good land can grow high-quality rice. In order to protect some rice brands, our country will mark a set of numbers on the rice packaging bag, which is called the implementation standard number, so we can also choose rice according to these numbers, because they correspond to a certain type of rice.
1. Ordinary rice, there is also a set of implementation standard numbers behind the packaging bag, usually: GB/T1354, when buying bagged rice in the supermarket, you can see this set of numbers in the ingredient list behind the packaging bag, which means that the quality of the bag of rice meets the national standard, that is, it can be purchased with confidence.
2. If you want to buy high-quality Wuchang rice, you need to identify the implementation standard: GB/T19266, which means that it is the high-quality Wuchang rice in Wuchang City.
The executive standard number of Panjin rice is: GB/T18824, the executive standard number of Founder selenium-rich rice is: GB/T20040, and the executive standard number of Zengcheng Silk Miao Rice is: GB/T23402.
3. The type of rice will also be marked in the ingredient list, if you want to buy long-grain rice, you can easily distinguish japonica rice and indica rice from the ingredient list if you want to buy round-grain rice.
At the end of the article, I would like to say a few words, which is better to buy rice, round grains and long grains? There is a big difference between the two kinds of rice, many people don't understand, and it is not delicious to buy the wrong one.
Indica rice is also long-grain rice, and its viscosity is worse than that of japonica rice, so after indica rice is cooked into rice, it will look very loose and will not stick together. In the process of cooking rice, the amount of water should be slightly more, so that the taste of the cooked rice will not be so hard. The taste of indica rice is harder, and the disadvantage is that it is more difficult to digest than japonica rice, but the taste of indica rice will be more fragrant, and indica rice can be used when making egg fried rice.
Japonica rice is round grain rice, with good viscosity, and the rice will stick together after cooking, compared to indica rice, the amount of water when cooking rice is slightly more, and the cooked rice will be very soft and glutinous. Compared with indica rice, japonica rice is easier to digest, because it is softer and the taste is not as good as indica rice, so japonica rice is more suitable for cooking rice and porridge.
