Wuchang rice, which grows on black soil, is one of the three major black soils in the world. It has long sunshine hours throughout the year and a long frost free period. With one season of rice per year, it takes longer to breed and is irrigated by river water. The quality of the rice is consistent, with plump and slender grains, clean and free of impurities, and a natural light aroma. It has a soft, sticky and sweet taste when eaten.
