Rice (for throwing)
Rice for throwing refers to uncooked white rice traditionally tossed by wedding guests as a symbol of fertility and prosperity during the seasonal holiday of weddings.
Fun Fact
Many modern venues now use birdseed or biodegradable confetti instead of rice due to concerns that uncooked rice harms birds, though studies show birds can safely eat it in moderation.
