1. When rice is mentioned, most people think of the black soil of Wuchang. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a meal of five permanent members can forget the fragrance of wine and meat. The reason why Wuchang rice is delicious is closely related to the black land that breeds it. Wuchang is one of the three black soils in the world. Its black soil layer is decomposed by vegetation for hundreds of millions of years. Its thickness can reach 1 m, and its organic matter content can reach 10%. This is a rare rice producing area. In addition, the Wuchang natural environment is excellent, and the temperature difference between day and night is the largest when rice matures. There are more soluble double-stranded sugars accumulated in rice, which is very beneficial to human health. The good rice in Wuchang rice is pure as jade, oily and gorgeous, mellow and refreshing, with high nutritional value and moderate trace elements. It can be called a rice aristocrat, and everyone who has eaten it is deeply impressed by its quality and taste.

As an aristocrat in rice, Gongchi rice is richer in nutrition, full and hard in texture, and sweet and mellow in entrance. Gongchi rice is produced in Yilan, a famous historical and cultural city in Heilongjiang Province. Yilan, located at 45 degrees north latitude, is the most famous rice gold belt in the world. Miyachi rice is exactly the same. It is the nourishment of pure terroir that produces such delicious rice. China people cannot live without this black land. It is this black land that has cultivated this timeless taste, which represents the cultural heritage handed down from generation to generation in China.

3. Slate rice has become water rice again. The reason why slate rice is not as well-known as Wuchang rice is mainly because its planting environment is scarcer, resulting in less annual output. The growth environment of slate rice is extremely special. It grows on a large area of basalt solidified by volcanic magma, and its soil is slate formed by humus, in which minerals, organic matter and trace elements are particularly rich, and rice absorbs enough nutrients. In addition, the irrigation water source during the rice growing period comes from the high-quality water source flowing from the dammed lake and Jingbo Lake in the upper reaches of Mudanjiang. The water quality is sweet and clear, and there is no industrial pollution, which makes slate rice have high quality and nutritional value.

4. Jinhe rice is produced from high-quality Wuchang rice, and the soil is the root of rice. Wuchang is one of the three black soil belts in the world. The average thickness of grass carbon black soil layer formed after thousands of years is about 1 m, and the thickness of grass carbon soil in forest area is as high as 3 meters, in which the organic matter content is as high as 10%, and it is irrigated by gravity in Lalin River, Mangniu River and Xilang River. Due to the unique geographical and climatic characteristics of Wuchang rice producing area, its dry matter accumulation is more, amylose content is moderate, amylopectin content is more, and its taste is soft.
