I never even knew I could buy rice, I just got it from random places and thought "might as well plant this"

You'll earn money if you mill it though, which the name "unmilled rice" is just begging you to do

If you're buying rice, even piere know you're desperate

The coffee beans aren't really for selling though, they're for brewing so you can jumpstart your life as a coffee addict

losing money on rice is one thing, but saving money on rice if you have a mill (40g per shoot at pierre's, vs 200g for a packet of milled rice) is quite another. not to mention milled rice sells for 100g but at that point we're getting into whether processing crops should count into profit margins by default (though milled rice is not affected by artisan)

If it sells for less, that just means you're not supposed to sell it as is. Process it into something else, and then sell it.

You didn't mention that you can get coffee beans in the mines, from dust sprites.

"Or you can buy it from Pierre's if you go that route..." Bro really went the joja route 😂

btw, forgot to mention it earlier: if you do grow rice - pickle it! More profit than milling (and benefit from Artisan), though I would still mill whatever is needed for cooking - take that Pierre! 😎

I like having sunflowers. They're great for gifts and you can get cooking oil from them. Plus, I just normally enjoy seeing flowers.

Well rice isn't made to sell straight up It is made to make vinegar.

I have a bad habit of making a gigantic coffee farm

You don’t sell rice, you mill it. It’s a mid-game crop that you find very early on

Coffee beans have insane scaling and you actually can skyrocket your earnings because of them.

I just like that I don't have to water them & it gives me an excuse to buy the mill 😁

Throw unmilled rice into a seed maker and you'll usually get 2 or more rice shoots. Convert regular quality unmilled rice into shoots, sell gold quality and mill silver quality unmilled rice to make rice for cooking. Since rice for cooking costs 200G at Pierre's and 250G at JoJa Mart, you'll save a ton of money growing your own. All the dishes you can make with rice will sell for more than unmilled rice.

YOU MILL RICE INTO TASTY FLOUR

When he mentioned about coffee I was scared.

unless you buy a mill and make it worth more, but like... a whole building just for rice?

Although unmilled rice makes you lose money, if you have a windmill, you could make the rice much more valuable. I’ve been selling milled rice and making about 20k per harvest, and considering it only takes 4 days to grow, that adds up fast

I just fish it up. It shows up in the treasure chest sometimes

That’s because you’re supposed to mill it?

However I think Sunflower give one average 0.9 seeds per harvest, meaning you lose crops so it's not infinite like coffee Which is btw one of the best gold per day crop

The ancestral Asian urge to tend to the rice fields has not stopped me from buying it.

The thing about unmilled rice though is that you can mill it to become usable for recipes

999 missed calls from Uncle Roger☠️💀💀

I buy the milled rice when i want it for cooking. Because when you plant large areas of wheat and let the weather water them, you get loads of fuel for The Beer Engine, which is what I call my banks of kegs. Pale ales are a powerful year-one money generator.

Mill it

I mean, I'm trying to harvest a billion coffee beans over on Twitch, so this good to hear 😂

u don't lose money if u mill it XD the mill is great because u can put an infinite amount of rice into it and have it be ready the next morning!

Coffee is great. The speed boost is worth far more than the sell cost

Brewing the rice after you milled it is definitely better and it's also good for eating. The kegs make you a lot of money, but beer and mead take the shortest.

Worth remembering a few food recipes use rice - always nice to have spare for maki rolls and such, easy food source

Rice is only lost money if you dont have a mill

Reminder that you can just buy boxes of rice from Pierre to use for recipes.

Rice doesn't need watering near a water source. And gets you 60g per pnce milled. It's perfect summer 2 crop if you do it right.

I mean thats why you process the rice into something else that sells for more. Ive barely started playing and even I know that processed goods are more valuable than raw crops.

fun fact: pickling rice gives more money than milling rice, but takes forever longer, as the mill processes everything put into it at once and not one at a time

Mill your rice people, make use of those small ponds in the spring with it!

I have never played this game, but enjoyed the content anyway. Grow yet crops lil fella! Harvest! Woo! ...yes. I am easily entertained. Have a like.

Sunflower honey is also highly profitable but everyone forgets about that

“Hey Pierre, do you have any rice seeds?” Pierre: “do you need help? Like financially?”

If i get rice early on in the mines I'd plant it to get the little extra money it gives which is extremely valuable since every gold is important for year one

I saw coffee on the thumbnail and was expecting Coffee slander. I stan by Coffee beans being the ultimate starter crop

*sigh*... guys.. this is the third time i write.. but... TIP FOR USING MILL mill need 2500G 150wood 50 stone and 4 clothe you can mill 3 crop 1•wheat wheat seed can be purchased from pierre for 10G.traveling merchant 100-1000G Jojamart For 12G.and night market for 10G.wheat seed only grom in summer or fall.need 4 day to mature,harvest with schyte 2•beet beet seed canbe purchased from the oasis for 20G.or traveling merchant for 100-1000G.beet need 6 day to mature.and if u mill beat.it'll gave u 3 sugar. 3•rice rice shoot can be purchased from pierre for 40G.rice shoot need 8 days to mature.do not sell the unmilled rice.instead,mill them.milled raw rice will gave you rice.rice sell for 100G (plant rice shoot near body of water to make it grow faster) Sooo... let me explain why is this my 3RD comment Iwas writing thesWHOLE thing,and i editet it.but when i post it.its completely GONE.so i need to write the whole thing again...

I got it from fishing chest, if I remember it right, and a seedmaker multiplied it to infinity. There is no need to buy rice, you regularly find it.

As someone just really now getting into the game, this is actually super helpful

Me, an asian: **internal pain**

You can also give your sunflowers to Haley as they are her favorite flower. So they’ll never be useless

I was so happy when I turned 1 seed of coffee into a greenhouse full of it. I was too proud to chop it down to put Ancient Seeds

You don't buy coffee at the cart. You mine it in the ice levels like a patient rich coffee farmer 😂

Saying G instead of gold is psychopathic behavior

Seanie out here selling unprocessed rice

As an asian, im mad that its rice

Rice is my bumper crop. I buy it bulk, harvest a few times, and mill it all. I never collect enough in the mines or elsewhere to warrant not purchasing any.

I hear your voice, i see robin fron teen titans talking. I cant unhear it 😂 i love robin tho.

Me and my dirty mind adding all g's 😂

Coffee beans are my personal cash crop. I always try to get it as soon as possible. Tmk its one of the best crops for money value (especially once you get good fertalizers) and can be turned into coffee for selling it for even more or used as a gift once you get the Keg

I was just gonna say coffee may not be one of my obvious money-makers but the drink alone gives me more value than most other crops.

Once you mill rice, you can turn 1 rice into 2 vinegar, which sell for 100g each.

That's why you turn the rice shoots into flour, then use that flour to turn into food, then sell it to make a profit.

If you process rice on a windmill you can sell it for 100g, so it gives you quite a good ROI

I somehow missed the fact that you could buy rice, and I’ve been relying on seed makers to “bread and fishes” a handful and save them to seed year 2

Fun fact: just straight up selling the coffee beans is better money per day than growing strawberries

Oh you gotta be kidding me.

Also sunflowers are a loved gift of Hailey so even if you don't get heaps of money from them they make getting friendship with her super easy

I get rice from the caterpillars in the mine. They can drop coffee beans or rice occasionally. I don't normally buy rice or buy it milled I grow it from what I get in the mines. Sometimes you can dig them up when you see the little hairs in the dirt.

Yeah but you gotta mill the rice! Once it’s milled you’re profiting, but you can also save it to make loads of maki rolls which are good snacks!

I think that's the whole idea. It's a cheap low maintenance supplement to the early game and you'll find it throughout the land while doing other things, but not meant to be bought and sold like the main crops.

Rice is a super simple money-making method and one of my personal favorites. just own a mill first.

This video was the sole purpose of me deciding that I was going to use only rice to fuel my Jonathan completion. It took forever but was actually pretty fun.

I actually never realized 😭 I really like growing rice because it’s fun to harvest but maybe that’s a contributor to why some things have taken me so long

Ah. Pierre. That's all I needed to hear.

Tell me you never used the windmill without telling me you never used the windmill

Never really focused on crops, just dived into the mines after the first week and that was that Got all the money I needed for tool improvements and by the time I was done or at very least by the next year I'd have dozens of irrigation up and no longer have to waste stamina or time Always found it better to blitz the mines, maybe a tiny bit of produce for the community shelter (town hall?) but that's it

Coffee beans are also a free drop from the ice caves by slimes. Save your money.

Love the part where he tells us the crop that doesn't have a twist to actually make you more money.

You dont even have to buy a coffee bean in the first place. Dust sprites have a 1% chance to drop them

Mill rice, put beans in the keg to make coffee

you can find coffee beans and rice shoots without buying them. once you plant, put some through a seed maker and you’ll have an endless supply. if you. care for rice or coffee

"You can get plenty of rice from mines!" Huh??? I've never found rice in the mines.. I find out something new about this game all the time

the asian skeletons need some rice too y'know 😠

you can also just get coffee beans from the dust sprites in the mines and never have to pay for coffee at all B)

Well, yeah, if you're just selling raw coffee beans and unmilled rice then you're doing it wrong 😂

Raffadax beers mod: I am about to turn milled and unmilled rice into a massive profit margin

I love how, in the real world, rice is the most consumed good due to how easy and cheap it is to mass produce but in stardew it costs more to buy

You also fish out rice. Like A LOT from treasure chests. Either that, or it’s just my luck. 😂

Ah, the first time I was exposed to stardew content... Didn't even know this was stardew.

Even coffee is unboughtable. You can find it in the mines with the dust sprites, in a good coal harvest

Youre supposed to put rice in fhe mill. It sells for more

i never realized i could buy it lol i would just go home and find it in my inventory and go “huh, interesting” and plant it

Wait people sell rice without turning it into iridium quality wine

I haven't had to buy rice for anything because I horde my shoots till I need them. Also coffee beans are both the seed and the crop so it can get ridiculous really fast. Plant like 10 of them and you're swimming in coffee.

Yall are buying the rice starters? You could always just find them while wandering or do minor trades and get them. That being said its better to mill the rice and turn it to either food or money that way

Rice in the mines sounds like a punchline

Fun Fact: Rice is supposed to be processed via the mill (selling for 100g), or otherwise magically turned into pickles. So this is only true of raw "unmilled rice," which does indeed only sell for 30g (33g with Tiller). That's also ignorinf rarities. Higher rarities of unmilled rice can barely manage to make a profit.

You have to ship one un-milled rice to complete the shipping collection. Other than that, rice is just a wasted slot in your inventory. If you feel the need for a maki roll, you have a couple of options. You could acquire a rice shoot, grow it, and build a mill for 4000g; otherwise, you can just buy one rice from pierre for 100g.

Rice mill beach yay

Most of the time I just take multiple yeld crops and turn them into seeds to sell back, so good to turn a 18g blueberry onto 3 60g seeds.
