On the 15th, Yuan Longping invited everyone to taste sea rice through a video and set a small goal: develop 100 million mu of salt tolerant rice within 10 years. Old Yuan said, "it is my dream to increase production by 2 tons per hectare, increase production by 160 million tons of rice, and feed an additional 500 million people."
Seawater rice is a visual name for saline alkali tolerant rice. More than 200 million mu of saline alkali land can be used to grow seawater rice in China, which can increase grain production by tens of billions of kilograms and feed about 200 million people. Do you know that sea rice grows in the sea? Was it good? What are the advantages? According to experts, seawater rice is a special rice growing in saline alkali land such as beach.

Li Xinlan, food safety assessment expert member of China Health Care Association, told reporters that the pH value of rice cooked with sea rice is about 8.8. It has a strong enrichment ability in seawater. The red color is mainly selenium content, which is 7.2 times higher than ordinary rice. According to the detection of authoritative departments, the amino acid content of 'Haidao 86' rice is 4.71 times higher than that of ordinary refined white rice; It has high nutritional value. Some unique growth characteristics of sea rice are of great benefit to resource-saving green agricultural production.
Relevant experts said that seawater rice does not apply fertilizer and pesticides. If this gene can be used in existing cultivated rice, it will also make a great contribution to our ecological and environmental protection.
As for the taste, according to local farmers and experts who have participated in the trial eating of seawater rice, the taste of seawater rice is sweeter than ordinary rice, and there is no saltiness of seawater. Is sea rice delicious
