    Southerners like to eat indica rice, while northerners prefer japonica rice. Both types of rice are very nutritious, but there are certain differences. Because the gelatinization temperature, gel consistency, rice grain extension, and flavor of the two types of rice are different, the eating method is also different. Japonica rice has high consistency and is suitable for porridge; indica rice has high amylose and protein content, and steamed rice is soft and delicious. In addition, japonica rice has a certain effect of lowering blood pressure and fat, while indica rice has the effect of warming the stomach and helping Yang.
