Rice can be grown in hydroponics to yield 5 Rice and 1 Rice Seed when fully grown. They must be replanted after being harvested, using either a Rice Seed or raw Rice.  Relative to other food crops, Rice consumes twice as much water per tick, but produces 67% more crop product when grown.  As it has similar growth time to other food crops, this means it produces more food per hydroponics tray per time period, and more food per unit of CO2 consumed, but less food per unit of water consumed.
