There are 2 species of rice: Asian rice aka oryza sativa and African rice aka oryza glabirrema. Both species were domesticated independently on their respective continents thousands of years ago. Europeans found Africans growing vast fields of African rice in West Africa and brought 2 main types to the Americas: wetland types the main one which became known as Carolina Gold in the US South and was the major strain of commercial rice grown in the US for a couple centuries, and a dryland strain known as red bearded upland rice which is grown completely on dry land and hillsides. Thomas Jefferson imported a large cask of upland rice from Africa and distributed it to growers in the South hoping it could replace wetland rice in heavily mosquito prone areas, but because it required much more labour it did not catch on as a large commercial crop but was mostly grown by small farmers and as a subsistence crop mostly by slaves and free blacks. Asian rice strains only replaced African rice strains in the US during and after the Civil War. African red bearded upland rice was taken to the Caribbean island of Trinidad by runaway slaves from the US who had served in the British Royal Marines during the War Of 1812 and who were resettled on the island by the Brits after the war. That strain of rice is still grown commercially there and marketed under the name Moruga Hill Rice. Many African strains of rice are still grown all over Africa.
Carbs don't make you fat. That's a misconception brought on by fasted fat people eating carbs and seeing their bellies distend and their glycogen stores (water weight) go up. The fat you eat is the fat you wear.
Well I definitely definitely would like to eat me a bowl of rice where can I this rice at what's the name of this right bag where can I find Ms Carolina rice I did pronounce it right thank you where can I find this Carolina rice gold we're and how do you make it
Im confused bc I've been reading not to eat rice everyday bc of the high amounts of arsenic found in it. Especially where cotton was grown previously bc of the pesticides that were used (rice absorbs arsenic from soil and the water where it is being grown more than any other plant).
