Humans have been successfully eating rice for over 10,000 years. It has been said to be one of the oldest cultivated crops by our species. There are over 40,000 varieties of rice that are grown around the world and over 90,000 that are in existence! It's a fantastic food that is nutrient rich but still very affordable. I personally consume rice periodically which is why I have organized 40 of my favorite rice recipes that you and your loved ones will enjoy!
