– Similarly, take some rice and burn it with a lighter. And see if the rice smells like plastic? If it is melting or smells like burning plastic, then be careful. There is a risk of serious damage to health by consuming this type of rice.
Take some rice and put it in very hot oil. If it is plastic rice, it will melt and stick to the bottom of the vessel, while normal rice will turn into lava.
