Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 19, 1985 Cook of the Week Variety is the spice of life Rice, a staple food for half the world, was first cultivated in India and ar- rived in China around 2000 B.C. The Romans, who | always knew a good thing when they saw one and usually took it for their own, knew about this ex- Otic food frora their travels; but rice wasn't cultivated in Italy until the Middle Ages, and it took until the 16th century for stubbornly traditional French cooks to catch on to its wonderful diversity. Today almost everyone in the world eats it in one form or another, from the seductive saffron rice dishes of India to the reassuring rice puddings of Canada. Most of the rice consumed in Canada is grown in the Southern United States, and Uncle Ben's is the number one best-selling brand. There are some 7,000 different forms of this * adaptable grain, all of them a kind of grass called oryza sativa (with the exception of wild rice, which is from a different botanical fami- ly.) There's short, medium and long grain rice (which North Americans prefer) as well as round and flat top grains, and it comes in a positive rainbow of colors - ivory, red, white, dappl- ed black, brown and delicate violet favored in Fiji for sweet rice desserts. Whatever its shade or shape, 'rice is used interna- tionally as the base for a wide range of foods - Gre- cian stuffed vine leaves, Spanish paella, Polish pilaw, Italian risotto, Japanese sushi and Belgian rice tarts. Uncle Ben's flavorful blends - Long -Grain & Wild Rice, Florentine Rice and Cur- ried Rice, among others - make it easy to change meals from "ho hum" to "'*hooray". And, since it contains eight of the eleven essential amino acids, it has the best proteins of any cultivated cereal grain, which means you'll be sup- plying good health in the following recipes, as well as good taste. Each recipe has been tested by Uncle Ben's and is guaranteed to turn out beautifully when made with Uncle Ben's brands.
