Basic introduction Chinese name: Yuanyang rice producing area: Yuanyang County, Henan Province Quality characteristics: crystal clear, soft and sweet, pure flavor Geographical Indications: AQSIQ Geographical Indications Product approval number: AQSIQ announcement number 12 1 2003 Approval time: 65438+February 24, 2003 Product characteristics, quality characteristics and nutritional value. Production situation, product honor, geographical indications, geographical protection scope, quality and technical requirements, product characteristics and quality characteristics The saline-alkali land in Yuanyang County endows rice with inherent alkalinity, which makes Yuanyang rice full of flavor when cooked without alkali. The produced rice is unique, crystal clear, soft and sweet, pure in flavor and strong in palatability. The nutritional value of Yuanyang rice is 1992. The results showed that eight indexes, such as length-width ratio, chalkiness, chalkiness, transparency, gel consistency, alkali dissipation value, amylose content and protein content, all reached the national first-class standard of high-quality rice. The content of trace elements such as protein, starch, copper, iron and calcium in Yuanyang rice is higher than that in internationally renowned Thai rice. Among them, the iron content is nearly five times higher than the "love at first sight" of Japanese high-priced rice, higher than the selenium content called "life element" and "natural antidote" by scientists, and 4 to 8 times higher than many rice at home and abroad. Variety Classification Yuanyang County has introduced more than 20 excellent rice varieties from home and abroad. After trial planting, "68- 1 1", "Huangjinqing" and "Yujing No.6" have been selected as the main varieties, which have been widely popularized in the county. Yuanyang Rice Production Environment Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province is located in the alluvial plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, with a warm temperate monsoon continental climate, abundant sunshine, distinct seasons and large temperature difference between day and night. The old course of the Yellow River is in the north, and the high beach of the Yellow River is in the south. The rice planting area in Yuanyang County is located in a narrow backwater depression, with a length of 60 km and a width of 15 km. The special yellow river sedimentary soil, coupled with the yellow river water irrigation rich in organic matter and trace elements, has a large temperature difference between day and night during the rice growing period. The produced rice is crystal clear, soft and sweet, and has pure flavor. Protein, starch, copper, iron, calcium and other trace elements are rich in nutrients. Especially in the past, the saline-alkali land gave Yuanyang rice a natural and unique alkalinity, which made Yuanyang rice full of flavor when cooking without alkali. There is a historical origin of "China First". Yuanyang rice has a long history of cultivation and has become a special rice for the court in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The earliest written record of Yuanyang rice can be found in the History of Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi advocated releasing silt to make rice in the Northern Song Dynasty, and "we can see its effect as we go along". In the sixth year of Xining (1073) 10, 364 households, including Xing Yan, a citizen of Yangwu county, said, "The farmland is barren, begging for siltation to grow rice." 1983, archaeologists found carbonized rice grains in the Ming Tombs in this area. Rice has been widely planted in Yuanyang for only a few decades. According to historical records, the Yellow River has burst its banks 57 times in Yuanyang County in the past thousand years, and this land has suffered from floods and saline-alkali invasion. 1968, Qiao Yongqing, the "father of Yuanyang rice", tried to plant 600 mu of rice in Nanguan Brigade of Wu Yuan Commune, and the yield per mu reached 450 kg that year. Since then, the rice planting scale in Yuanyang County has expanded rapidly, and the dream of "10,000 mu of alkaline land has turned into fertile land, and yellow water has led to fragrant rice" has finally become a reality, and the rice planting scale in Yuanyang County has expanded rapidly. On August 22nd, 1973, People's Daily made an in-depth report on the front page with the title "Arousing the fragrance of rice flowers in the Yellow River water-alkali area". 1991115, the first "rice festival" in Yuanyang county held a press conference in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Yuanyang rice companion has gone through five stages with the historical evolution of rice cultivation, during which the planting area has been expanded and entered 2 1 century. In order to strengthen and expand Yuanyang rice brand and take the road of industrialization, Yuanyang County will include the development of pollution-free, pollution-free, green and organic rice food in the five-year plan of national economic and social development, increase investment in science and technology, harden the river courses in rice areas, and continue to attach importance to the introduction and breeding of high-quality rice varieties. Special varieties such as "Jinqing", "Space Nutrition Rice", "68- 1 1" and "Se-enriched rice" are widely promoted in the county as the main varieties. At the peak of rice production in Yuanyang County, the rice planting area in Yuanyang County reached more than 450,000 mu, with an annual output of 220 million kilograms of rice. In 20 16, the total rice planting area in Yuanyang county reached 320,000 mu, including 4,200 mu of pollution-free rice production base, 90,000 mu of green food rice and 7 160 mu of organic rice. The yield of rice per mu is more than 600 Jin, and the annual output of rice is more than 65.438+0.3 billion Jin. There are 4 1 rice processing enterprises in the county, and the annual rice processing capacity exceeds 1 100 million kilograms. 1 enterprise obtained pollution-free food certification, 3 enterprises obtained green food certification and 3 enterprises obtained organic certification.
