Rice and beans

Age range 5 to 12

In Rice, we follow the story of this vital staple food. We start from the flooded paddy fields where it is grown — how they are ploughed, planted and harvested. Threshing, drying and milling are also covered, before the rice is delivered to shops all over the world.

There is a handy map, showing the places where rice is grown and a deliciously simple rice recipe to follow. Fast Food boxes contain morsels of interesting facts about rice.
