Is wild rice hot or cool?

Wild rice is cool in nature.

The economic value of wild rice is high. After the stalk base and tender stems are parasitized by fungi, they become thick and tender, similar to bamboo shoots. They are called wild bamboo shoots (high bamboo shoots, wild rice white, water melon), and are delicious vegetables. The caryopses are called wild rice and are eaten as rice and have nutritional and health value. The whole grass is excellent feed and a wintering place for fish.

It is also a pioneer plant in embankment and land creation. In ancient times, wild rice grew normally and produced fruit in autumn. It was called eagle humi and was one of the six cereals. Later, it became deformed due to parasitism of smut and could not bloom and bear fruit, so it became a vegetable.

Plant Culture

Li Bai once wrote a poem: "Kneeling down to carve rice, the moon shines on the plain plate." Guo Moruo explained "kneeling down to eat rice" like this: The ancients sat on the ground and took the form of kneeling. Sitting cross-legged is called ‘Hu Si’, which is a foreign sitting method. Since the guests sit on their knees, the hostess who eats also adopts the form of "kneeling in" (see "Li Bai and Du Fu"). Guo made a joke when he described "diaohu rice" as a posture for eating.
