The annual rice plant Oryza sativa has been the most important source of starch in Asia for over 8,000 years. The rice plant is likely native to India. There are also wild forms in South America, Africa and Australia. In many cultures, rice symbolises life and fertility. The custom of throwing rice at a bride and groom may have originated in China. It is said to bring good luck and many offspring. Rice also plays a role in wedding customs in India. When the bride says "I do," a handful of rice grains are traditionally wrapped in a corner of her sari.
