1. Testing the Water
In a glass of water, dissolve one spoonful of rice. After a good stirring, set aside for a few minutes to relax. The difference between plastic and genuine rice is that the former will float on top while the latter will usually sink to the bottom.
2. Thermography
In a skillet over high heat, cook a little rice. As it cooks, real rice will release the perfume of toasted grains, but after it's been exposed to plastic, it will start to smell strange, like synthetic materials.
3. The Method of Boiling
Bring some water to a boil and drop in a little amount of rice to test it. Watch what happens as the water boils. Real rice will cook until it's mushy, but plastic rice won't cook through and might even rise to the top as a result of its poor water absorption.
fourth, the mold test
Prepare a little rice and let it sit at room temperature for a few days in an airtight jar. Under these circumstances, real rice may easily degrade and develop mold. There may be plastic in the rice if, after a few days, it doesn't change color or stays the same.
5. Crash Testing
Light a little amount of rice on fire. The aroma of burning rice husks is a telltale sign that you're burning real rice. Plastic rice, on the other hand, will burn rapidly and emit a strong odor similar to that of burning polymer.
Finally, if you care about your health, you must be careful about the rice you eat. Avoid any health concerns by identifying plastic rice with these easy-to-follow tests. Here are some practical recommendations to help you stay educated and make sure your food is safe.
