Rice is a cereal grain that is widely consumed around the world. It is a staple food for over half of the world’s population and can be grown in both dry and wet seasons. Rice is highly nutritious, containing high levels of vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber and protein. It can be cooked in many different ways, including boiling, steaming, stir-frying, or baking. Rice can also be used to make dishes such as risotto, sushi, porridge, and paella.
