Sea rice is actually not a cereal crop at all, as many might think. They are not even closely related to each other.

For the first time, this fungus appeared in our country after the visit of merchants from India. Outwardly, in its shape and granules, the fungus resembles highly digested rice. Apparently, it is due to this that the culture got its name.

Since he came from India, he got the appropriate name. Before us is one of the oldest cultures, about which a person learned much earlier than milk and kombucha. In addition, rice surpasses them in terms of benefits.
