(Oryza sativa)
As its name implies, this is a medium grain landrace rice with origins in Thailand. Robust plants flower roughly 55 days after transplant with harvest starting at the 95 day mark. Awned panicles allow cultivation without netting on our southeast Michigan homestead.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind, rice seed is hulled. Rice is planted in its hull but after harvest, that hull must be removed before eating. De-hulling rice is not easily achieved by hand, requiring mechanical assistance such as the Brill De-huller or an electric de-huller.
