Rice is one of the best-selling cereal products on our planet. This statistic is probably justified by the fact that rice is consumed in large quantities by Asians. As we know, the Chinese make up a weighty part of the inhabitants of the planet. Therefore, their interest in rice determines the sales of this cereal
crop. Due to the fact that rice is a rather demanding cereal, it is not grown everywhere. Basically, the supplier of this crop is Asia. In our climate, it is impossible to grow rice without proper efforts and means. The plant is extremely unstable to frost and drought. That is, rice can only be grown in a humid area, preferably in water.
This cereal makes an excellent side dish. There are also examples of main dishes with rice, which win many meat and potato dishes.
