How to distinguish the authenticity of Baishi Xiaomi

Xiaomi's selection

1. High quality Xiaomi rice grains have uniform size and color, appearing milky white, yellow, or golden yellow, with luster, rarely broken rice, no insects, and no impurities. Take a small amount of millet to be tested and place it on a soft white paper. Use your mouth to moisten it, then twist and rub the millet several times with the paper to observe if there is a slight yellow color on the paper. If there is yellow, it indicates that there is yellow pigment in the millet to be tested. In addition, a small amount of sample can be moistened with water and the color change of the water can be observed. If there is a slight yellow color, it indicates the presence of yellow pigment

2. High quality Xiaomi has a fragrant aroma and no other odors. Severely spoiled millet easily turns into powder when twisted by hand, with a lot of broken rice and a slight moldy, sour, rotten or other abnormal odor when smelled

3. High quality Xiaomi tastes great, slightly sweet, and has no peculiar odor. Poor quality millet tastes tasteless, with slight bitterness, astringency, and other unpleasant flavors
