Champa rice

Champa rice is a quick-maturing, drought resistant rice that can allow two harvests,[1] of sixty days each in one growing season. Originally introduced into Champa from Vietnam, it was later sent to China as a tribute gift from the Champa state during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song (r.9971022).[2][3] Commonly cultivated in India, this is consumed as main course in Southern parts of India.
