Rice

A staple food in most of the world, Rice (Oryza sativa) was first eaten more than 10,000 years ago in China. From there is spread across Asia, then Europe and the Americas. Rice is such an important food that, in Chinese and Japanese, the word for “rice” is synonymous with “meal.” It traditionally was considered to be a “yang” tonic that promotes healthy digestion.
