once my mother told me these measurements this is how I always get perfect white rice every time
Rice History
Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice). Alternatively, it is less commonly derived from O. glaberrima (African rice).. The name wild rice is usually used for species of the genera Zizania and Porteresia, both wild and domesticated, although the term may also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties of Oryza.
As a cereal grain, domesticated rice is the most widely consumed staple food for over half of the world’s human population, particularly in Asia and Africa. It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production, after sugarcane and maize. Since sizable portions of sugarcane and maize crops are used for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important food crop with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans. There are many varieties of rice, and culinary preferences tend to vary regionally.
The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while, or after, setting the young seedlings. This simple method requires sound irrigation planning, but it reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged growth state and deters vermin. While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice, all other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods and a different approach for fertilizing the soil.
Types of rice

Rice, a monocot, is normally grown as an annual plant. In tropical areas, it can survive as a perennial and can produce a ratoon crop for up to 30 years. Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labor costs and high rainfall, as it is labor-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water. However, rice can be grown practically anywhere, even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems. Although its parent species are native to Asia and certain parts of Africa, centuries of trading and exporting have made it commonplace in many cultures worldwide. Production and eating of rice are estimated to have been responsible for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2010.
Ingredients
1 cup white rice
3 cups cold water
salt
Directions
To achieve perfect rice every time, begin by adding salt to a cold pot, but just enough to cover the bottom. Add the water to the pot first and stir in the rice. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Cover and set the timer to 20 minutes. Reduce heat so it is simmering. Rice reaches its done state when all the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat, if using an electric stove, or just turn off the burner if using a gas stove, as a result, it will stop the cooking process. Fluff with a buttered fork so the rice does not stick to itself. Enjoy!!
