Non-hybrid and non-GMO rice has extremely low yield, so the price is also relatively high.

How does natural selenium-enriched rice come about?

Purely natural selenium-enriched rice naturally grows from selenium-enriched soil. The whole biological process: mainly soluble selenate, selenite, and so on from the soil are absorbed through plant roots, then enter the plant's internal circulation system, pass along the path of root-stem-leaf-glume/grain, participate in protein synthesis, and finally, selenium in ionic form from the soil is preserved in the seed in the form of selenium-containing protein.

Generally, to grow high-quality selenium-enriched rice, the soil must be rich in selenium of high purity and free of heavy metal pollution. Among the producing areas, the selenium-enriched rice from Enshi, Hubei, Luchuan, Guangxi, and other places is the highest quality.
