Immersion in water

Dip a spoonful of rice in water to identify genuine and fake rice. If the rice floats above the water then it is fake as plastic does not sink in water. If the rice stays under the water then it is genuine.

By mixing in oil

To identify fake rice, heat oil in a pan and mix rice in it. If the rice melts or starts to stick, it is fake. Be careful not to overheat the oil.
