Indian scientists said on August 5 that they have successfully cultivated a kind of rice that does not need to be cooked but can be eaten after soaked in water, and its yield per unit area is the same as ordinary rice. Adia, director of the Indian Central Rice Research Institute, said that this newly cultivated rice has low amylase content, so it will soften once soaked in water. This kind of rice only needs to be soaked in cold water for about 45 minutes.
