Wild rice

is a unique aquatic vegetable in my country. In the world, only my country and Vietnam cultivate wild rice as a vegetable. The ancients called wild rice "wild rice". Before the Tang Dynasty, wild rice was cultivated as a food crop. Its seeds are called wild rice or wild rice, and it is one of the "six grains" (steamed rice, millet, millet, beam, wheat and wild rice). Later, people discovered that some wild rice plants did not ear due to infection with smut fungus, and the plants showed no signs of disease. The stems continued to expand and gradually formed spindle-shaped fleshy stems. This is the wild rice root that is eaten today. In this way, people use smut fungus to prevent wild rice from flowering and bearing fruit, and propagate this diseased and deformed plant as a vegetable. Can be used as medicine.
