beware of plastic rice
3- Mortar and pestle test: Crush some grains. Real rice should crush easily and feel prickly. Plastic rice will be harder to crush and may appear flexible.
4- Boiling test: Boil a small sample of rice and watch the water. Real rice produces some starch on the surface, while plastic rice may leave a strange residue.
5- Mold test: Cook some rice and leave it in a warm place. Real rice rots, but plastic rice is unaffected.
