The difference between organic rice and regular rice

As people's living standards improve, they pay more and more attention to food safety. When buying food ingredients, many people like to buy those with the word "organic". Rice, as a staple food that people often eat, is no exception. This concept has led to the hot sales of organic rice in the market now. But what is the difference between organic rice and ordinary rice, and what are the differences between them?

The difference between organic rice and regular rice

1. There is a clear difference in the processing process between organic rice and ordinary rice. It is strictly forbidden to use pesticides, fertilizers, hormones and other artificial synthetic substances during the processing or production process of organic rice. It can be said that it is a purely natural food, but ordinary rice uses fertilizers and pesticides during the production and processing process, and sometimes some hormones are added. Its food safety index is much worse than that of organic rice.

2. There is also a clear difference in quantity between organic rice and ordinary rice. Ordinary rice can be planted at will and can produce rice as long as the natural conditions are met, but the quantity of organic rice will be strictly controlled, and it will be planted and grown in designated plots, and its yield will also be strictly limited during planting.

3. Organic rice needs to be certified before it can be put on the market for sale, while ordinary rice can be put on the market for sale directly after it is mature and processed. The food logo of organic rice needs to be certified once a year, and you can continue to apply after the annual period expires to ensure the certification logo. Only rice with these logos can be sold as organic rice in the market.

4. Different emphasis is the main difference between organic rice and ordinary rice. In the process of planting and production of organic rice, process management is emphasized and the quality of rice is particularly valued, while in the process of planting and production of ordinary rice, output is the main focus. Therefore, in order to increase the output of ordinary rice, many people will continue to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides on it during the planting and growth process.

5. There is also a clear difference between organic rice and ordinary rice in the land where they are grown. When transforming production of organic rice, the residual substances in the land will be taken into consideration. It takes a 2-3 year transition period from growing other foods to growing organic rice, while ordinary rice can be planted directly and does not require a transition period at all.
