Is Wuchang rice more nutritious than other rice?

No, all the rice that has passed the national mandatory standards and is in line with food safety have little difference in nutritional components in essence.

Wuchang rice is a geographical indication product recognized by AQSIQ and is considered as one of the best rice in China.

Why is it good? Because of the following points:

1, characteristics of rice: fresh and oily, moderately soft and glutinous, mellow and long, rich in nutrition, light and slightly sweet, slightly sticky and soft, the surface of rice grains is bright, and leftovers do not return.

2. Topography and climate: Wuchang is adjacent to the southern end of Songnen Plain and the Japanese Strait in the east. The rice planting area is an open basin surrounded by mountains on three sides. From August to September, the rice was filled to maturity, and the sunshine was sufficient, and the temperature difference between day and night was obviously widened, which made the rice mature quite densely and accumulated a lot of dry matter.

3. Water source: Mangniu River and Lalin River, which originate from Zhangguangcailing and Fenghuang Mountain, flow through more than 2 million mu of rice fields in Wuchang, and 90% of the rice area is irrigated by mountain springs.

4. Soil: The soil in Wuchang rice area is rich in organic matter, and the residue of harmful substances is low. The soil types of rice production are mainly meadow soil, peat soil, paddy soil and fluvo-aquic soil, which are rich in mineral elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Less pests and diseases, reducing the amount of pesticides and fertilizers. The soil PH value is 6-7, containing 3%-5% organic matter, with good soil structure, strong air permeability, complete oxygen and many nutrients entering rice.

5. Sunshine: there is plenty of sunshine, and the sunshine time in the growing period is long, with 2600 hours. The sunshine can reach 10 hour in the key season of rice growth, which meets the light demand of high-quality rice. Once a year, the growth period is about 140 days.

There is no smog weather and sauna days in Wuchang area, and the sunshine is very good. The large temperature difference between day and night is beneficial to the nutrient accumulation of Wuchang rice. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in mature rice producing areas, soluble double-stranded sugar in rice is very beneficial to health.

Historical origin of Wuchang rice

The history of Wuchang rice can be traced back to Bohai in the early Tang Dynasty (the middle of the 7th century), where farmers planted rice.

In the 10th year of Qianlong (1745), the Qing government assigned 1000 flag bearers to settle in Lalin area of Wuchang. In the 15th year of Daoguang reign of Qing Dynasty (1835), the army of Jilin General recruited some Koreans to plant rice in Wuchang area, and the harvested rice was ground into rice by stone mill, named Gong Mi, which was specially sent to the capital for the royal family to enjoy.

In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), the Qing government set up five Jia societies, namely, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and honesty. In the name of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness" in the "Three Cardinals and Five Permanent Members", this place was called the Five Permanent Members, and then flag officials were sent to introduce the Five Permanent Members and set up official positions.

After the founding of New China, the rice planting area in wuchang city has been expanding and the yield per unit area has been increasing. Rice cultivation technology has formed a unique "five permanent models", which is famous both inside and outside the province.

In 1950s, Wuchang's rice area reached nearly 654.38+10,000 mu, and gradually became the first rice production county in China.

Since the 1990s, Wuchang has cultivated a series of rice seeds suitable for planting in this area, such as Una rice and Songjaponica rice, and adopted the cultivation techniques of super-dry seedling raising and dry seedling raising with Wuchang characteristics for a period of time.

1993, Tian Yongtai, the stationmaster of agricultural technology extension station in Longfengshan Township, wuchang city City, Heilongjiang Province, found a rice plant with 12 panicles in the field, and used it as a seed to plant twelve ridges of rice. When the rice is about to mature, the fragrant smell will float from the rice fields blown by the wind, so it is named "Daoxiang", which is an excellent rice variety with a variation of one million.

Nine times out of ten, the rice planted in Wuchang field is "Daohuaxiang No.2" cultivated by Tian Yongtai.

In April 2006, Yuan Longping, the father of rice hybridization, visited wuchang city, Harbin.

20 13, wuchang city declared the national agricultural comprehensive standardization demonstration city project and was approved.

20 14 wuchang city declared "Wuchang Rice" as a national famous brand to create a demonstration zone, and 20 15 was approved by AQSIQ. The national famous brand demonstration zone is exclusive, and Wuchang has become the only brand demonstration zone in the national rice geographical indication protection products.

In the same year, "Wuchang Rice" was included in the China Geographical Indications Ceremony, and the AQSIQ exchanged the geographical indication product standards between Wuchang Rice and the European Union, which set up a new platform for Wuchang Rice to enter the European and American markets.

20 18, 18, in order to further purify the marketing environment of Wuchang rice and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, Geng Jun, director of wuchang city Municipal Market Supervision Administration, issued the implementation plan for the special rectification action of Wuchang rice, and the relevant person in charge of wuchang city Rice Association read the Proposal for Protecting Wuchang Rice Brand.
