The color is waxy white and transparent or translucent. The texture is hard and tough, and the viscous oil after cooking is large, soft and delicious, but the rice production rate is low. . According to the harvest season, glutinous rice is divided into early glutinous rice and late glutinous rice. Early indica rice is translucent, with large belly white, hard plasmid, and poor quality rice. Late glutinous rice is white or waxy white, small white belly, hard plasmid, good quality.

The difference between glutinous rice and glutinous rice

1, raw grain varieties

In botany, rice belongs to the undergraduate rice and belongs to the common subspecies of common cultivated rice subgenus, which is divided into indica rice and indica rice. The glutinous rice is processed from japonica rice and the glutinous rice is processed from japonica rice.

Indica rice has a long grain shape, a length that is more than 3 times the width, a flat, short and thin hair, generally no awns, a thin rice hull, a large belly white, a hard plasmid, a fragile process, and a relatively high rice yield low. Japonica rice is larger and shorter in chopped shape, its length is about 2 times of its width, its long and dense hair, long awns, thick rice hull, small or no belly white, hard plasmids, and high rice yield.

2, appearance and shape

The glutinous rice is generally oblong or slender, while the glutinous rice is oval. Although the glutinous rice is also elliptical, it is not as round as glutinous rice.

3, the requirements of broken rice

Insulated rice is easy to produce broken rice, so the requirements for broken rice content are different. The broken rice standard for fine glutinous rice is no more than 15%, while the broken rice standard for glutinous rice is not more than 30%.

4, nutrition into ingredients and taste

The nutritional content and taste of sticky rice and glutinous rice are very different. The protein content of glutinous rice is more than 8%, and that of glutinous rice is only 7%; the consistency of glutinous rice is required to be greater than 70, and that of glutinous rice is only required to exceed 60. Therefore, glutinous rice is obviously much more sticky than glutinous rice. Glutinous rice is suitable for dry rice and glutinous rice is suitable for porridge.
