Rice. How does it grow.?

Question

I am in asia and have seen many paddy fields and the grass like plants that are the rice but where actually are the rice grains on these plants. How many grains of rice do you get from on plant.

I have had plenty of oppertunity to study paddy fields close up and know pretty much everything about how it's planted and grown and when to harvest etc but even the locals don't seem able to tell me where those little grains are actually hiding on that plant. I am restricted to internet cafes so don't have lots of time to do my own reaserch, I was hopeing someone on here might know. Thanks for the answers so far.

Answer 1

Generally, under water. You have to create a big garden like circle or more and flood it, plant the rice some how ('ve enver seen how it's planted but been by rice fields) then flood it, and keep it flooded. As for how many grains of it from one plant, I don't know. I think you should see if that info is online.

Answer 2

Brown rice is rice which has not been hulled, leaving the outer layer of bran on the grain when it is sent to market. The name is a reference to the characteristic brown color of the bran, distinguishing it from white rice, which has been hulled to reveal the white endosperm of the rice. Any rice cultivar can be left unhulled to create brown rice, and the rice can be used much like white rice would be in cooking. Some people actively seek out brown rice, because they prefer the higher nutritional value and nutty texture.

Answer 3

It takes between 3 and 6 months for a rice plant to reach maturity, depending on the variety and where it is grown.

Answer 4

Good question.

I googled 'rice plant', and by the looks of it, would be
difficult to say.

I'll be interested in seeing the answers.

Answer 5

The same as any other grass. The number of seeds will vary with type of rice.
It's on google, loads of.

Answer 6

as with all grasses they are on the top. The quantity would depend on the strain
