Luzhai Brand Selenium-Rich Eco Rice

Luzhai Brand Selenium-Rich Eco Rice

　　The cooperative’s base is located in Shuiluba Village, Bo Wangshan Town, Xingwen County. The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, enjoys abundant sunlight, and its water source comes from the Bo Wangshan Scenic Area of the UNESCO Global Geopark. The rice is irrigated with natural bamboo root water, within a 50-kilometer radius that is free from pollution. The soil is rich in organic matter and naturally high in selenium (with organic selenium content in the soil ranging from 0.40 to 1.52 mg/kg, which is three times the national average), providing uniquely ideal ecological conditions for growing organic selenium-rich rice. The organic selenium from the soil is absorbed by the crop roots, transported through stems and leaves to participate in protein synthesis, and ultimately retained in the grains. All the rice produced is rich in selenium, with selenium content ranging from 0.10 mg/kg to 0.445 mg/kg (tested in Enshi, Hubei), more than twice the national selenium-rich standard. The cooperative utilizes the natural resources of the base and follows green agricultural product production standards for cultivation, with absolutely no added fragrances or preservatives throughout the entire production and processing process. Selenium is an essential trace element that governs life and cannot be synthesized by the human body. It is hailed by medical and nutritional experts worldwide as the “spark of life.” It is also known as the “longevity element,” the “king of anti-cancer,” a “natural detoxifier,” and the “guardian of the heart.” It plays a vital role in maintaining normal metabolism and enhancing the human immune system.
