Jasmine rice seed
LATIN NAME: Oryza sativa
COMMON NAME: Jasmine Rice
The jasmine rice tilts the slender, green culms over the flooded field, the fine, nodding heads above them, and the whole crop carries the soft, golden look of the warm paddy. The fast-growing, annual grass carries the long, narrow, pale-green leaves along the erect, hollow, jointed culms, and the small, greenish, wind-pollinated flowers in the fine, nodding, branched panicles, through the late summer, one of the soft, quiet sights of the warm paddy, to be followed by the long, slender, white, fragrant grains within the tight, golden hulls. The fragrant grains have a very long record as the fine, aromatic rice of the warm lands, and the plant is a historic presence of the warm paddy. It is a plant of the open, sunny, flooded, rich, warm ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The jasmine rice is a historic subject of the plant science, and the nodding panicles keep showing up in the work on the aromatic rices. The way the small, greenish, wind-pollinated flowers form in the fine, nodding, branched panicles has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the aromatic rices, the hollow culms and the members of the grass family. The fragrant grains and the soft habit have also made it a fine study grass, and the jasmine rice is a regular subject of the work on the nodding panicles of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The jasmine rice is a soft, useful plant of the warm paddy and the study collection. The long, narrow, pale-green leaves along the erect, hollow, jointed culms carry the soft look of the warm paddy, one of the soft, quiet sights of the warm paddy, and the fragrant grains have a very long record as the fine, aromatic rice of the warm lands, the long, slender, perfumed grains coming to the steamed bowls, the curries and the steady trade of the warm markets, while the small, greenish, wind-pollinated flowers in the fine, nodding, branched panicles open through the late summer, to be followed by the long, slender, white, fragrant grains within the tight, golden hulls. It is one of the fine choices for the warm paddy, the grain plot and the study collection, and it has been written about in the agricultural and the culinary papers for the fragrant grains and the very long history. It is a soft, useful plant of the open, sunny, flooded, rich, warm ground.
The rice seeds are happy in a fine, silty soil kept wet and warm. The young seedlings are soft and quick, and they enjoy the warm, flooded ground of the paddy.
To grow the jasmine rice from seed, sow the small, oval seeds thinly across the surface of the deep flat of fine, silty soil, water gently, then keep the flat in a bright, warm, wet spot. The seedlings thread up within a couple of weeks, and they grow on steadily. With the sun and the warm, moist ground, the slender culms will tilt over the warm months.
Organic Jasmine Brown Rice is a source of magnesium and manganese. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Brown rice contains the outer shell of the grain which makes it a whole food and a source of fibre.
