IIRC, isn't it you who grows your own rice? That should be interesting and knowledge of which might be important to have one day.
We use rice in every type of cooking; mexican, creole, chinese, southern, you name it. We also buy the wild black rice, grown in minnesota and canada, for use in some of our favorite dishes.
Yes, we grow rice. PM me if you live south of zone 4 for instructions. It’s VERY easy and you don’t need a paddy to do it.
But it has to be dehulled.
