Peculiarity of paddy production is that though it is waterborne crop, the content of water changes the taste of rice, the processed paddy. Rice of Nellore variety, known as sanna molagolakulu, and with the same variety of seed, will result in a different size and taste of rice. Tamil Nadu’s Ponni, Kurnool’s Sona Massoori, ​and several dwarf varieties grown across the country, may have the same or similar seeds but shape, size, and taste differently. Some produce more grass and some less and this is a value addition as it serves as feed for the milch animals. The waters of Ganges, Sindhu, Godavari, Krishna, Tungabhadra, Mahanadi, Kaveri contribute to such vast differences and H2 O is at variance in the chemical composition. Similar could be the varieties in Vietnam, China, or elsewhere, where paddy is produced.
