Take A Little
Grain Of Rice

nitiated by an act of Congress in
1991, September 1997 marks the P
seventh annual National Rice
Month celebration.
Consumption of rice has climbed to
25.6 pounds per capita and is steadily
growing.
Once relegated to merely a side
dish, rice is now taking center stage.
From risotto to sushi and paella, food-
savvy cooks are using rice in many eth-
(-=
nic recipes.
Rice is thought to be the first grain
ever cultivated by man and, for thou-
sands of years, has been one of the
most important foods for half the
world's population. Food historians
trace rice to a Chinese emperor, circa
2,900 BCE. From China, the food
migrated to Greece, Persia and, finally,
the Western Hemisphere.
American rice farming began more
than 300 years ago in Charleston, S.C.
From there it spread to the low-lying
marshlands of North Carolina,
Georgia and eventually the Gulf Coast.
Here are a few tricks, trivia and
recipes to make using rice creative,
fast, delicious and even medicinally
beneficial.
