RICE
Rice
is
a
herbaceous plant belonging to the
family
of grasses, which comprises nearly 2000 species. This is an annual plant with the stem right and steep, which stretches up to 1 meter in height. The leaves are acintadas numerous and
a
bit rough, especially at the edges.
Inflorecencia the terminal consists of an ear of espiguitas composed of
a
single
flower
. The fruit is
a
Caryopsis white or slightly
brown
.
Originally from Asia and Africa,
was
introduced in Europe to the sixth century AD,
though
not its cultivation spread to the fifteenth century. It
was
breeding in
rice
fields that remain very flat flooded while the
rice
is developed and until the plant is large.
It blooms in
summer
. In the
Iberian
Peninsula grain of
rice
reaches its full maturity from late August through early October, when it is appropriate to segarlo. Subsequently, the grain undergoes
a
process of falling, depriving it of its external features, rich in
protein
,
vitamin
B and minerals.
The
rice
that we know is much poorer in areas where food is consumed in the Far East. In the composition of husked
rice
, what stands out most is the high percentage of starch, which can account for as much as 75%. It also contains materials Albuminoidal, some water and small amounts of sugar and fat. It is
a
food widely consumed in our country. Is usually used for any aetiology and combat
diarrhea
. As shown the first signs of decay in
a
child as an adult, the first thing we recommend is to suspend the medical management of any food other than
a
bit of
rice
cooked with water, salt and
a
teaspoon of oil. Also, for very young
children
is very
common
to mixtures of
rice
flour,
but
must not be abused because
a
lot of them will ultimately end up causing constipation.
Previously, these mixtures of
rice
flour thickens
a
bit more and were applied either in the form of hot poultice on boils and abscesses. Today, this use
has
fallen
almost
obsolete. In conclusion, we must also comment that
rice
is not
a
very nutritious food if used alone,
but
that leads to the preparation of delicious dishes, well placed in our culture, as the Valencian paella or
rice
pot.
But
in reality it should be consumed whole, as reported, as the husks that it covers is where you find the best
nutrients
.

while, then bebiéndose the cooking water.
