The Question?

How many grains of rice in a 1 kilo packet of rice?

The Answer

No-one really knows the answer to the question "How many grains of rice are in a 1 kilogram packet of rice". Loads of people have tried and failed to find the answer. If you search the internet you will find many estimates where people have weighed a grain of rice and multiplied the weight to get an estimated answer.

The Truth is out there

Very soon we will know the true answer behind the mystery.

I have taken it upon myself to find out the answer. After purchasing a 1kg packet of rice from the supermarket I plan to count, number, and record in a database every single grain of rice in the packet.

Every grain of rice that I number will be attached to a certificate of authenticity, every certificate will have a unique authentication code and each certificate will be signed and added to an online database which can be checked by the certificate holder.

Just imagine owning your own unique piece of history, or giving one to someone as a unique gift, which will increase in value in years to come. As a bonus, for a limited time you can purchase your grain of rice and certificate at a 50% discount, by using the discount code at the checkout. The discount code is grainofrice. Don't hang around though as the promotion is only for a short time.

As well as owning a unique certificate and grain of rice you will also be helping the World Land Trust, which since its foundation in 1989 supporters of the World Land Trust (WLT) have helped fund the purchase and protection of over 400,000 acres of threatened wildlife habitats. For every grain of rice that is sold $1 will be donated to the trust.
