Since a large portion of maize crops are grown for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one-fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans.[2]

Wild rice, from which the crop was developed, may have its native range in Australia.[3] Chinese legends attribute the domestication of rice to Shennong, the legendary emperor of China and inventor of Chinese agriculture.[4] Genetic evidence has shown that rice originates from a single domestication 8,200 13,500 years ago[5] in the Pearl River valley region of Ancient China.[6] Previously, archaeological evidence had suggested that rice was domesticated in the Yangtze River valley region in China.
