Rice

Rice was a type of grain native to planet Earth. Historically, it was the most important crop for the greatest number of people on Earth.

Tatya Bilash and Yoshi Nakamura offered rice to the Vulcan explorer Sorahl as part of his first meal on Earth. Sorahl surprised them by giving its Latin taxonomic name, oryza sativa, and noted there was nothing like it on Vulcan, likely due to the dry conditions across most of that planet. Three hundred years later, T'mirek rice would become a popular Vulcan dish.
