Zhongxiang Rice

Zhongxiang Rice is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　According to tests conducted by authoritative institutions, Zhongxiang rice has low levels of lead, arsenic, mercury, and fluorine, meeting the standards set for green food. It also contains a variety of trace elements such as selenium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, and potassium, all of which play an important role in human health. The people of Zhongxiang prefer to eat the brown rice they produce and process themselves, also known as "coarse rice." Stone-ground brown rice has a rich flavor and is highly nutritious. The more refined the rice processing, the greater the loss of nutrients—especially since refined rice lacks the germ. The germ part of brown rice, however, is highly nutritious, rich in vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and zinc. Fiber helps with weight loss, lowering cholesterol, and improving digestion. Unsaturated fatty acids help reduce cholesterol, protect the heart, enhance brain function, and promote intellectual development. In addition, tests have shown that the zinc content in brown rice is four times that of refined rice. A zinc deficiency in the human body can reduce resistance to infectious diseases, delay wound healing, and impair growth and development. People also make a unique local dish called "rice tea" by dry-roasting brown rice, then boiling it with water—this is especially popular among the elderly.
