Top 10 Most Expensive Rice Varieties

People regard food as heaven, and everyone cannot do without rice. Rice comes from paddy, and paddy is a common food crop in China, grown in many regions. But there are very many paddy varieties, so prices differ among different paddies. So which are the most expensive paddies? Below is a rundown of the ten most expensive paddies.

The Jingyang rice produced from Jingyang paddy is extremely expensive. Ordinary rice prices are generally 3 yuan to 10 yuan per jin, but this one reaches as high as 8400 yuan/jin, making it the most expensive of the top ten. This is mainly because Jingyang Town in Hubei is surrounded by mountains on three sides, has unique sunlight, and the paddy is irrigated with mountain spring water, so the rice is mellow, high quality, and good in taste, which is why the price is so high.

2. Wannian Paddy

The Wannian tribute rice produced from Wannian paddy has a market price of 6900 yuan/jin, making it a very expensive rice. Wannian paddy is produced in Wannian County, Jiangxi, and its geographical location is mainly at the foot of mountains, with one crop planted per year. The rice grown here has very large grains, a jade-like color, a rich fragrance, and a very good taste, so the price is very high.

3. Yanzhi Rice

Yutian Yanzhi Rice is fully called "Yutian Yanzhi Rice". Yanzhi rice comes from the ancient Yanzhi paddy, so it has a relatively long history and has many products of different varieties.

5. Xiangshui Tribute Rice

Since the Tang Dynasty, through the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Xiangshui rice was always tribute rice for successive dynasties, enjoyed by the imperial family. Xiangshui tribute rice grows in lava stone slabs, and the soil is rich in humus, providing abundant nutrients for paddy growth. In addition, the resulting tribute paddy rice is very rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other trace elements, so the market price is not low, around 500 yuan per jin.

6. Zhefang Tribute Rice

Zhefang rice can be called the most famous rice in Yunnan. Because it is refreshingly fragrant and soft and glutinous in taste, it was once regarded as imperial "tribute rice" and is known as "Yunnan's number one rice". Due to a long growth cycle and low yield, Zhefang tribute rice was once on the verge of extinction. Later, after variety cultivation and restorative planting, its market price is 499 yuan/jin.

7. Fangxian Cold Water Red

Fangxian Cold Water Red is produced in Shahe Township, Fangxian County, Shiyan, Hubei. Cold Water Red is also called "black millet" and "three-stretch waist".

Combined with a purely natural planting environment, its market price is very high, at 368 yuan/jin.
