Rice (Oryza sativa)

Sown rice, which in many cultures is simply called "rice", is a plant grown for its grains, which are the main staple food for much of the world's population, especially in Asia. Oryza sativa is an annual, erect grass with a long, thin stem and narrow leaves. Rice is generally divided into brown and white. Brown rice, also known as paddy rice, contains more fibre and is richer in vitamins and minerals than white rice.

Sown rice is an important ingredient in many dishes and products. Its grains are a major component of traditional Asian cuisine, where it is used as a side dish, the main ingredient in dishes such as sushi, risotto, paella, but also in desserts such as rice pudding or milky rice. Brown rice is a staple in many healthy dishes because it is rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. Rice is also used as a raw material for the production of rice flour, rice paper or rice wine, and in the baking industry for the production of rice bread. Rice is also used in the production of beer and in Asia it is also used to make rice wines such as Japanese sake and Korean soju.
