Rice should be the most common food for most people, especially southerners.
Rice is not only an important staple food, but also can be made into wine or some desserts, so we must attach great importance to the quality and safety of rice.
The harm of unhealthy rice to human body, from the poisoned rice incidents in previous years, we can know that the reason why poisoned rice is considered toxic is actually because the cadmium contained in rice seriously exceeds the standard. Cadmium is a heavy metal substance, which has great side effects on human body and can destroy the central nervous system and stomach.
In addition, we should pay attention to these kinds of rice, and don't eat them easily.
Many people think that the surface of moldy rice looks like mildew spots and can be eaten normally after cleaning, but this surface cleaning does not mean that rice is harmless to human body. Rice is moldy because Aspergillus flavus has been born in it and will not be completely removed with the removal of mildew spots.
This toxin can not only kill livestock, but also cause cancer to human body. If you eat it carelessly, mold will directly damage the stomach, liver and kidney, which is very unfavorable to the body.
The mold on the surface will remind us that rice is no longer edible, but some rice looks exquisite but full of problems.
Just like bleached waxed rice on the market, it looks perfect on the surface and even gives people a very safe illusion. Especially young people often choose this bleached and waxed rice instead of moldy and yellow rice.
As everyone knows, after a series of bleaching processes, even moldy rice can't be seen. Eating this kind of rice will pose a threat to the human liver. After all, aflatoxin is carcinogenic. Moreover, the liquid paraffin used for waxing rice comes from the fractionation products of petroleum compounds, which will cause great stimulation to the human stomach. Long-term consumption can lead to stomach upset and gastroenteritis.
In order to make huge profits, many unscrupulous merchants often make inferior products without considering food safety issues and add various chemical additives to food.
Among them, there is an example of inferior rice coated with essence. Inferior rice coated with essence not only looks like normal rice, but also emits the same smell as authentic fragrant rice, and unscrupulous vendors will even sell it at a higher price.
However, we should know that essence is a synthetic chemical substance, and its harm can not be ignored. If you eat too much, it will do great harm to your liver and kidneys.
Find a white napkin, wrap a handful of rice with it, and open the napkin five minutes later to see if there are any oil stains on it. If there is, it means waxing.
1, rub the fragrant rice in your hand, and then open your palm. If the hand is only a faint fragrance, the kneaded rice is more fragrant, indicating that the rice is really fragrant; On the contrary, if the hand is full of fragrance after rubbing, and the rice has become light and tasteless, it is probably fragrant rice.
2. Wash the fragrant rice in the basin three times. If the rice still has a faint fragrance after three washes, it is proved to be authentic fragrant rice; On the other hand, if the fragrance weakens and disappears in repeated washing, then this rice is rice with flavor added.
These kinds of rice are dangerous products that we usually ignore or fall for. Eating them will seriously damage our health and affect our quality of life.
Therefore, we should pay close attention to the quality of rice at home on weekdays and quickly go moldy or yellow. At the same time, when buying rice, we should observe carefully, choose the merchants with quality assurance to buy, keep a cool head and prevent being cheated and buying inferior products.
