RICE
Rice is the plant and seeds of the Grain family Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or less commonly Oryza glaberrima (African rice). The name wild rice is usually used for species of the genera Zizania and Porteresia, although the term is wild and domesticated, it can also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties of Oryza.
As a grain, bred rice is the most widely consumed staple food for more than half of the world's human population, particularly in Asia and Africa.[Liu 1] It is the third highest-producing agricultural product worldwide, after sugarcane and maize. rice is the most important food product for human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans worldwide, as large portions of it are used for purposes other than human consumption.[There are many varieties of rice, and culinary preferences vary regionally.
