yeah i had but it doesn't give you good information
You're right. I thought that rice was discovered in asia, not the americas. That columbus didn't discover rice at all. But, I'm no historian.

yeah we have to do this essay thing four essays it is sooo hard
From what I can tell, rice was introduced to europe after the much earlier (than columbus) expeditions to the orient. Those expeditions happened around 200 years before columbus tried to find the orient by sailing west - what he found instead were the americas. Columbus had rice on board as a food staple for his voyages tot he new world. Here's a link to a site which lists some of the new world finds:
