It doesn’t necessarily have to be rice. Dehydrated potatoes work too, as does pasta, oatmeal, or other grains.
Personally, I have found that if I eat rice, I stay hungry. Hunger messes with your mind after a while, so my stockpiles tend to go heavy on pasta and potato flakes, with only a little bit of rice. If your hunger is satisfied eating rice, then rice is good.
Potatoes are also easier to grow than rice, at least in my area. My potato patch this year is going to be around 800sqft. If I had a marshy area on my property, I’d probably try to get wild rice established there.
