[Sca-cooks] brown rice

[Jim and Andi Houston]

Get a copy of A Historical Dictionary of Indian Food by KT Achaya.  There
are seven pages in there about the origin of rice and what kinds of rice
were grown where, by whom, and how it was traded throughout history.

Greetings gentle cousins

I am currently trying to research the usage of brown vs white rice in
period. The only mention that i have found so far is that white rice came in
in Japan in the 17th C.

pan)

Does anybody have a source that can shed more light? Gut feelings says brown
rice, but that tends to be unreliable ;)
