Portuguese here.
When in a foreign country, I'm always shocked when I see rice is an optional side.
I was so surprised to find a lot more choice than than the basic preboiled white rice in Portuguese supermarkets. You guys have local (!) Whole grain rice that doesn't cost a fortune.
Does Brazil consume rice because of Portugal, or is it the other way around?
I guess must be Portugal's influence in Brazil. Rice is cultivated in Southern Europe since ancient Greek times and it was made popular in Iberia during the Arab occupation, so since before there was a Portuguese state.
