Eltus Rice (エルタス米), formerly known as "Okome", is a plant which belongs to the Eltus organism group. It inhabits the brackish water areas around Salt Lake ColVilous and is commonly known as “Sea Rice” among the Eltus people. This plant features a very strong salt tolerance. People cultivate this rice and grow it widely. As a result, this plant is one of the most well-known companion plants of the Eltus.
Characteristics
It's seeds, which are an edible part, are translucent, white and spherical in shape. The size of a grain is approx 5mm (0.2 inches). It is cooked by being fried or boiled. Because it forms a completely spherical shape, if people were to drop or spill this rice, it would end up rolling quite a far distance provided they’d fall on a flat surfaced area.
Distribution
Given that this rice grows only in the brackish water area, it is a highly valuable food for the Eltus folk, with the exception being Gold Ring, as it is grown locally. However, as it can be stored for long periods of time, processed rice is often distributed to other regions as well as trade merchandise.
Traits
As most Eltus plants do, this one has some Talyxian trait to reproduce. Eltus rice shares a symbiotic relationship in the reproductive cycle with a Talyxian creature called Rice frog, inhabiting tidal area waters. These rice plants cannot breed alone without help from Rice frogs.
On Planet Tal’s soil and environment, most if not all Eltus plants have difficulties in reproducing.

Eltus rice is also not an exception from this matter.
