　　Shanlan Rice is highly nutritious but produced in very limited quantities. It comes in two types: upland rice and paddy rice. Upland rice is mostly grown on hillsides without the need for manual cultivation — just sow the seeds and let nature take its course. The rice can be used to make porridge or brew wine (the dry form isn’t particularly tasty).

　　From sowing to growth and harvest, the entire process adopts a highland slash-and-burn eco-friendly farming method, with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides added. Hainan is a city completely free of pollution, blessed with abundant rainfall and long hours of sunshine. The Shanlan Rice grown here is rich in nutritional value, containing trace elements such as selenium, iron, and zinc that are several times higher than those in ordinary rice and are easily absorbed by the human body. It is suitable for long-term consumption by parents and young children, and also makes an excellent gift for holidays and family visits.
