Rice is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the human population in the world, especially in Asia. For Japanese people, rice is eaten as a staple food with side dishes like fish or meat, some vegetable, and soup. Japonica, the most widely grown type of rice in Japan, has a sticky texture that made it easier to eat the rice with a chopstick. This kind of rice is mostly consumed by Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese. Slightly different from Japan, in Thailand, a grain of rice is made into dessert. Khao niaow ma muang, a mango sticky rice, is the favorite desert in Thailand uses rice as the ingredient. Even though rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and calorie intake, it's not the staple food for Europeans. They prefer to eat bread, potatoes, meat, or another protein food because paddy in there can not grow as good as in Asia. Indeed, although not everyone eats rice as the main dish, it still becomes the most eaten staple food in the world.
