First, pay attention to the size and luster of millet. When choosing millet, we must pay attention to its size and luster. The particle size of high-quality millet should be the same, because in the packaging process, particles of different sizes will be screened out, leaving only particles of uniform size. The granules should be full and hard. In addition, the color should be uniform without chromatic aberration. High-quality millet usually has natural luster, because the rice germ on the surface of millet is rich in nutrition and will reflect natural luster. In the sun, you can see the millet shining, which is the characteristic of high-quality millet. And its color should be golden yellow, so some "black-hearted" businesses will dye millet golden yellow. If it fades in water, please return it quickly. Second, the taste of millet In addition, high-quality millet will have a fragrant taste, and porridge will also have a slightly sweet taste. This is the fragrance of millet itself, without any peculiar smell. This fragrance is given off by the nutrients in millet. If millet goes moldy and goes bad, this fragrance will disappear and even have some unpleasant taste. It will smell musty or sour, so run when you smell this! Third, the texture of millet Finally, we can judge the quality of millet by pinching it. High quality millet should be hard and not easily crushed. If the millet is found to be easily broken, it may be moldy millet. Because of the moldy millet, its internal structure has been destroyed and its texture will become very fragile.
