Zhidan Fragrant Valley Rice

Zhidan Fragrant Valley Rice

　　Zhidan is located in the heart of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, making it the optimal growing area for Fragrant Valley Rice. When the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi during the Long March, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China set up base in Zhidan. Revolutionary leaders such as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, along with many Red Army soldiers, were full of praise for Fragrant Valley Rice. Since then, “Northern Shaanxi Millet” has gained nationwide fame. Zhidan Fragrant Valley Rice is produced by the county agricultural service center in designated production bases that are far from urban areas, featuring fresh air and no pollution. The rice is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, making it a completely natural green food. It boasts a golden hue and is rich in minerals, protein, fat, lysine, selenium, as well as various nutrients such as vitamins A, B, and E. For millet porridge, a water-to-rice ratio of 1:25–30 is recommended. It can be paired with mung beans, cowpeas, red dates, peanuts, or walnut kernels to create a delicious and fragrant dish. This nutritious delicacy helps nourish the skin and delay aging. The commercially registered and available “Weilong” brand Fragrant Valley Rice and “Yuxiang” brand Fragrant Valley Rice are sold across the country.
