🍚 Plastic Rice vs Real Rice
Watch Here How to Identify the Difference
Rumors about “plastic rice” appear online every few years. The truth is: plastic rice in normal food markets is extremely rare, but people still want simple ways to check rice quality and safety.
Here’s how to identify good rice correctly 👇
✅ 1. Water Test (Density Check)
What to do:
-
Put a spoonful of rice in a glass of water
Result:
-
Real rice → sinks
-
Fake or poor-quality rice → may float
⚠️ Floating does NOT automatically mean plastic—some broken or dried grains float too.
✅ 2. Boiling Test
What to do:
-
Boil rice normally
Result:
-
Real rice → softens, separates naturally
-
Fake rice → may stay unusually hard or rubbery
✅ 3. Smell Test (Very Important)
What to do:
-
Smell rice while cooking
Result:
-
Real rice → natural starchy or nutty smell
-
Fake or adulterated rice → chemical or plastic-like odor
✅ 4. Press Test
What to do:
-
Take a few cooked grains and press between fingers
Result:
-
Real rice → mashes easily
-
Fake rice → may feel rubbery or elastic
