rice grain
Single cereal seed
A rice grain is a single seed of the rice plant, the small elongated kernel that serves as a staple food for much of the world's population.
The phrase emphasizes the individual unit rather than rice as a mass noun: Each rice grain was perfectly cooked.
Rice grains vary in size and shape—long-grain, short-grain, round—affecting texture when cooked.
