Red rice seed
LATIN NAME: ORYZA SATIVA
COMMON NAME: Red Rice
The red rice rouges the tall, upright, clumping grass with the broad, arching, green leaves and the loose, nodding flower heads that open through the warm season, the plump, reddish grains following in the dense heads, the grains rouging through the harvest, the red bran holding the rice. The plant grows through the warm, moist season, and it likes the sun, and the moist, fertile soil.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The red bran of the red rice gives it a recognised place in the research on the staple grain crops of the grass family, and the sativa forms appear in the studies of the wholegrain nutrition and the bran pigments. The work looks at the way the bran colours the grain, the warm-season cropping, and the seed biology. The food scientists value the wholegrain fibre, and the growers of the heritage grain varieties keep the forms in their catalogues.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the warm, moist garden, the red rice rouges the autumn field with the red heads. The rice serves the tables for the ages, the red bran keeps the fibre and the colour, and the bold clump feeds the birds. It grows well in the moist, fertile, sunny ground. Red-bran, wholegrain and generous.
To grow the Red Rice from seed, sow the seeds into the shallow drills of the warm, moist bed, then cover them lightly, keep the bed moist and warm, and the seedlings shoot up within a week or two.
Keep the bed moist and warm, and thin the seedlings to the roomy spacing. The rouged grain comes within the season. Set the young plants in the moist, sunny ground, and the rouged grain will colour through the season.
