Specifications of high quality Iranian rice
The amount of aroma, odor and taste
If we want to compare authentic Iranian rice with foreign rice, we will find that authentic Iranian rice has a better aroma and taste. To distinguish the aroma and taste, rub a small handful of rice between the palms of your hands and put on it the so-called Do (s) and then smell.
If the rice in question has a fragrance, it will show itself. Another way to understand the smell and taste of rice is to put a few grains of rice in the mouth and chew it.
Note that if the rice is Iranian and original, it must have a good aroma and if it is foreign, it has no aroma.
No rice strap
A grain of rice that is good does not have any band or crack on it, but the rice that is of poor quality has a wide band and basically the color of the band of rice is whiter than the rice itself. It can be easily recognized.
In order to know whether rice is stringy or not, put a grain of rice between your thumb and forefinger and press it with your thumb nail. If the rice breaks and crumbles easily, it is stringy rice.
Uniformity of Iranian rice
Another feature of high-quality rice is that it is one-hand, not a mixture of fat and thin, short and long, yellow and white, fine and coarse or medium rice.
To have rice in one hand without half grains, pour a little rice in your palm and then check whether the rice is mixed or what percentage of it is half grains.
Rice Color One of the characteristics of high quality Iranian rice
If Iranian rice is good, its color is semi-transparent or semi-crystalline, if it is old, it is bony and if it is fresh, it is lighter. Please note that foreign rice has a dull color, but Iranian rice does not have this dullness. >
No white rice
Sometimes some grains of rice are bleached, which usually has a cloud or fog on it, and its color is whiter than the rest of the rice.
These whites on the rice are the cause of the increase in the glaze and the rice falling apart during cooking. To detect it, put a little rice in your palm and look at them very well.
Rice dryness
Rice that is not dried well, is not firm enough and is so-called hollow. To check whether the rice is dry, put it under your teeth and press it.
Rice that is dry and hard does not break easily, and rice that is not dried well will not cook well.
The amount of rice fat
The method of determining rice fat is very similar to the way of evaluating the aroma of rice, it is true that the amount and size of rice fat is very, very small, but the important thing is that high-quality rice has less fat.
Quality and how to bake rice
One of the most important indicators of distinguishing the best Iranian rice is paying attention to the aroma of rice when it is cooked.
Iranian rice that is of good quality leaves a good aroma when it is boiled, and after cooking it remains tasty and soft for a while and does not lose its taste.
