Who would have thought that a bag or box of rice may not be the real thing? To the naked eye, each grain certainly looks real.

It appears that major rice producing countries are mixing in some counterfeit food particles – and worse. They are even adding a bit of fragrance during packaging to help it pass the ‘smell test.’ To add volume to rice, certain foreign manufacturers are now mixing in plastic rice, which is actually formed by smashing white and sweet potatoes together. This potato concoction is then formed into shapes that resemble rice. Yet, these rice imposters don’t soften while cooking; they remain hard and could be a major actor in causing digestive issues.

Currently, no scientific rice authentication testing has been developed.

In today’s video, we will describe how you can conduct your own experiment to determine if your rice is a knock off or the real deal.

Before you run to the kitchen to perform your experiment, please share this video with friends.
