IS BRITISH RICE MADE From WHEAT?

Answer 1

Are all of your questions related to a school homework project of some sort?

How can rice be made from wheat? Even the Brits are incapable of that feat of magic!

Answer 2

I always thought rice was a seed that is harvested, cleaned, and cooked but is not made from ingredients like wheat. I know that the British do some things in unique ways but making rice from wheat sounds a little too strange to believe.

Answer 3

are you thinking of brown rice, cause rice is rice, and wheat is wheat...............

Rice is a monocarpic annual plant. The grass has long, slender leaves. The small wind-pollinated flowers are produced in a branched arching to pendulous inflorescence 30–50 cm long. The seed is a grain 5–12 mm long and 2–3 mm thick.

Wheat is a grass that is cultivated worldwide. Globally, it is an important human food grain ranking second in total production as a cereal crop behind maize; the third being rice. Wheat grain is a staple food used to make flour for leavened, flat and steamed breads; cookies, cakes, pasta, noodles and couscous;] and for fermentation to make beer, alcohol, vodka or biofuel.

Brown rice (or otherwise called "hulled rice") is unmilled or partly milled rice, a kind of whole grain. It has a mild nutty flavor, is chewier than white rice, becomes rancid more quickly, but is far more nutritious. Any rice, including sticky rice, long-grain rice, or short-grain rice, may be eaten as brown rice.

Answer 4

British rice?

Never heard of it!

Rice is a grain in its own right so cannot be made from wheat.

Answer 5

Rice comes from the rice plant.

Wheat comes from the wheat plant.

The answer is No. British rice is from rice plants.

FYI: Domesticated Rice comprises two species in the Poaceae ("true grass") family, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima. These plants are native to tropical and subtropical southern Asia and southeastern Africa. Rice provides more than one fifth of the calories consumed by humans in their global diets.[1] (The term "wild rice" can refer to the wild species of Oryza, but conventionally refers to species of the related genus Zizania, both wild and domesticated.) Rice is a monocarpic annual plant, growing to 1–1.8 m tall, occasionally more depending on the variety and soil fertility. The grass has long, slender leaves 50–100 cm long and 2–2.5 cm broad. The small wind-pollinated flowers are produced in a branched arching to pendulous inflorescence 30–50 cm long. The seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm long and 2–3 mm thick.

Rice is a staple for a large part of the world's human population, especially in East, South and Southeast Asia, making it the most consumed cereal grain. Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labour costs and high rainfall, as it is very labour-intensive to cultivate and requires plenty of water for irrigation, much like the licorice crops found in Eastern Europe. Rice can be grown practically anywhere, even on steep hillsides. Although its species are native to South Asia and certain parts of Africa, centuries of trade and exportation have made it commonplace in many cultures.
