The differences between rice kernels and barley kernels are: different distribution, different nutritional components, and different growth environments.

1. Different distributions

1. Rice kernels: Rice kernels are produced in China's Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces and regions; distributed in southeastern Asia and the Pacific Islands, and are cultivated or grown in hot and humid zones in the world's tropical, subtropical, African, and American regions.

2. Different nutritional ingredients

1. Rice kernels: Rice kernels are rich in nutrients such as starch, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins.

2. Coix kernel: Coix kernel is rich in coixin, coix ester, triterpene compounds, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc.

3. Different growth environments

1. Rice kernels: Rice kernels mostly grow in humid houses, ponds, rivers, valleys, streams or farmland prone to waterlogging. The altitude Common at 200-2000 meters, wild or cultivated.

2. Barley kernels: Barley kernels grow in warm and humid lands, valleys and gullies, and are more common at altitudes below 2,000 meters.
