Ponta Rubra is an upland rice from Portugal. It is a starchy, medium to short grain rice, and used for making various Portuguese rice dishes. This variety became widely grown in Portugal in the 1960s. It is a selection from an older Italian variety called Agostano. It matures at 115 days from transplanting and has very good yields at 10 pounds per 100 square foot bed. The plants are tall and can easily lodge when filled with maturing grain. I always stake my rice to help mitigate problems with lodging. Ponta Rubra is an awnless variety.
