Easy Ways To Identify FAKE Rice

There is confusion in the air with regards to whether the dreaded plastic rice is in Nigeria or not. But there is no need to be caught in the debate, you can check this thing yourself.

A reader of ogbudu.com , Aisha Hamza, sent this to me:

Mr Olu, I want to say something about plastic rice, maybe it can be of a little help.

It will be better for people to endeavor to check their rice before cooking, and it's a simple step; just put a little rice in a silver spoon and place on fire for a while, if it melts then you know you have a case of Plastic Rice, that all.

Another way to check is to observe raw rice in cold water, if it's floating unusually then it's fake.
