The History of Rice (Encore)


Listen Later

For thousands of years, rice has been one of the most important agricultural crops in the world. 

It has fed billions of people, has been crossbred into tens of thousands of variants, and is now grown in every continent except Antarctica.

The importance of rice has not diminished over time and in fact, might grow in the future. 

Learn more about rice, and how it was domesticated and spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
