Why is it so delicious? Originally, the organic rice from Wuchang area in Heilongjiang Province has a long maturation period. The soil of Heilongjiang Xiangshui Rice, black soil, contains various nutrients required for rice growth. The rice absorbs high levels of these nutrients. The rice-growing region of Wuchang is shaped like a huge "C" with its opening facing west, surrounded by mountains on three sides. This forms excellent conditions for planting one-season cold-region japonica rice. Wuchang is located at the southernmost end of Heilongjiang Province, with a mid-temperate continental climate. The average annual temperature is 3.5℃, and the active accumulated temperature is 2700℃. The average frost-free period is between 115 to 139 days. The southeastern mountains over 1000 meters (Changbai Mountain Zhangguangcai Ridge) block the southeast wind, while the warm current from the Songnen Plain in the west can directly enter the basin and circulate. In August and September, when rice is filling and maturing, the weather in the basin is sunny with sufficient sunlight. The diurnal temperature variation significantly increases, averaging 13℃, which is 5℃ more than in regions at the same latitude. The maximum temperature difference reaches 20℃. This makes the maturation period of organic rice quite concentrated. Old farmers say "the seeds mature quickly."
In the Wuchang area of Heilongjiang Province, there are "six mountains, one water body, and three fields," with 3.6 million mu of farmland, of which 1.7 million mu are planted with organic rice. There are natural "paddy field" conditions, with two major water systems - Lalin River and Niu River, 15 first-level tributaries, 14 second-level tributaries, and 274 third-level tributaries. The total length of rivers is about 2240 kilometers, with a river network density of 0.3 kilometers. Among the world's three major black soil belts, Northeast China has 120,000 square kilometers, of which Heilongjiang alone accounts for 80,000 square kilometers. Wuchang is the county (city) with the largest area of black soil in Heilongjiang Province. The thickness of the black soil layer in Heilongjiang averages 20 to 30 centimeters, while the average thickness of the black soil layer in Wuchang reaches 2 meters, with an organic matter content of over 10%, making it a "fertile" land. Ling Mountain gives birth to beautiful water, and the surging springs of Malin River and Mopan Mountain under Changbai Mountain irrigate tens of thousands of mu of rice fields in downstream towns such as Anjia and Minle. Together with the climate of the high-cold region, this nurtures the extraordinary spirit of Northeast Wuchang rice, finally cultivating a fragrant reputation! With large and medium greenhouses for seedling cultivation, plus the geographical location of the first accumulated temperature belt in Heilongjiang, Wuchang organic rice naturally deserves to be the best.
"It doesn't look good, it's not white, nor shiny, but it tastes good." Because under such temperature conditions, rice accumulates more dry matter and soluble double-chain sugar content, making it sweet and fragrant when eaten. The surface of the rice grains is oily and lustrous, slightly sticky when eaten, with high gelatin content. When transferring a bowl of rice to another, no rice grains remain in the empty bowl, and oil droplets cover the inner wall. Leftover rice does not harden, due to the high content of branched-chain starch.
