4 місяці томуDig into how rice became a staple in the world’s diet, and the surprising consequences of its traditional production practices.
--
Rice contributes over 20% of the calories consumed by humans each year. Korean bibimbap, Nigerian jollof, Indian biryani, Spanish paella, and countless other culinary masterpieces all begin with rice. So how did this humble grain end up in so many cuisines? Carolyn Beans investigates the global expansion of this beloved crop and the unintended consequences of its popularity.

Not to mention high in calories! From what I know, they are more efficient in feeding large amounts of people than other crops. This means you could feed more people with every square meter of rice paddy compared to other grain crops like wheat, sorghum, or malt. One of the reasons why East and South Asia has a higher population than any other parts of the world.

An additional possible bonus of using the "drain and flood" method this video advocates, is that it could also act as an alternative pesticide control. Nothing too amazing, but letting the fields dry out can kill off plants that only thrive in flooded areas, and flooding the area afterwards can kill whatever plants that took root when it was dry. Plus other small pests, like bugs, could also be killed by the flood if they aren't suitable flooded areas.

Flooding rice field is make able to grow without fertilizer, which means more rice, more population, so Many people make rice if they can.
@gemmeldrakes2758 27 днів тому
The simple reason is the yield. 1 cup of dry rice can become up to 4 cups of cooked rice, depending on the type. No other staple crop does that. A pound of wheat flour does not quadruple in volume when you make bread from it, neither does a cup of cornmeal become 4 cups of cooked corn meal when you cook it. It takes less rice to feed many more people.

I am actually surprised they didn't mention how rice farmers get infected by parasitic worms at an alarming rate. They then contract some pretty terrible diseases as a result. Parasitic worms kill thousands of people a year in pretty horrible ways. I wouldn't be overly concerned with the methane distribution by flooding rice fields but instead making it a breading ground for worms. We should focus on draining these fields for the health of poor farmers because worms are very easy to get rid of by simple medications but most farmers cannot afford it.

As an Assamese, rice is what I eat for my breakfast, morning snacks, lunch, evening snacks and dinner. Sweets made during festivals and special occasions, called pitha are also made of rice and rice flour, called pitha-guri (pitha powder). Rice is so centric here that the expression "bhat khala?" (Have you eaten rice?) is often used in the place of "what's up" or "how are you?". In Assam there are museums displaying hundreds of native varieties of rice from Assam. Some of the popular varieties include: *Joha* - The popular fragrance rice that is also used to make Assamese payox/pah (rice pudding), pulao etc. At my home, we make biryani with joha more often than with basmati lol (basmati is a newly introduced imported variety here). *Bora* - The beloved sticky rice that's used to make all the Assamese sweet dishes. It's the rice that's pounded to make pithaguri. We can make quick payox also with it. *Boka/Kumol saul* - The magic rice Others include ahu, aijong, bao, boro, lahi and many more. There are many terms we use to refer to different forms of rice, such as: Dhan - paddy, unhusked rice Kothia - rice sapling Saul - husked but uncooked rice Bhat - cooked rice Sira - flattered rice Muri - puffed rice Akhoi - popped rice Xandoh - coarse powder of parched rice Hurum - another type of puffed rice Pithaguri - rice flour, used to make Pithas (Assamese cakes), some larus (ladoos). It's also often added in curries to make it thicker. Payox/Pah - rice pudding Põita bhat - rice soaked in water overnight, then served with various dishes. Summer food Pulao - rice cooked with meat or vegetables Xaz - rice beer Mar - liquid starch of rice Khud saul - broken pieces of rice Tuh - rice husk powder used to feed animals

Proving once again that Rice and Beans is the ideal combination to provide nutritious meals!! Also, for all the different varieties of rice, there's only 2 species that are the progenitors: Short Grain (Oryza Sativa) and Long Grain (Oryza Indica). Short grain exudes starch when cooked so has more stickiness needed for Risottos and Paellas etc., and Long grain is better for making Pilafs and Biryanis where you want the cooked grains to remain separate and not get lumpy.

In the Philippines we had a vierity of rice planted on the mountain not paddies but directly at a dry slightly moist soil called Hasik. Saddly it is not grown in our village anymore since the introduction of different kinds of rice seeds. Only less than 5 farmers grow it in our province

I spent a year in Fukuyama, Japan. It rained continuously in the month of June. I remember thinking that would be good for the rice.

From far, i thought the video was about EGG based on the thumbnail art. Could've been simple just putting a rice bowl to efficiently communicate it visually. But the video is good, always great honestly. Thanks TedEd ❤

here in the Philippines there is a facility called International Rice Research Institute many of our asian neighbors studied and research different kinds of ways for a rice to grow and develop different variants of rice.

And yet, the Philippines is one of the biggest importers of rice in the world, even becoming the top rice importer in 2023. Seeing the demand for rice worldwide is actually saddening as a Filipino. We could have taken advantage of this demand and competed with other countries as a supplier, but how can we do this when we can't even produce enough grains for our countrymen?

Rice indeed complements so many different food types, both plant and meat. I prefer it as my carbohydrate intake compared to wheat in meals.

Rice was not known in my home country Morocco🇲🇦, it was introduced in the 40s. Bread is the most popular food 🥯
@bonbonbonbons 4 місяці тому
Ironically instant ramen was invented because of a reversed situation in postwar Japan. When US gave wheat to Japan to make bread one guy figured out that bread was not a common thing in Japan and ramen noodles were more popular, he set out to create ramen instead. He ended up creating instant ramen by flashfreezing ramen dough.
