Rice
Not specified as being different from earth rice, there is no mention of which part of Gor this cereal is grown in.

I went to the side and removed a bowl from its padded, insulating wrap. Its contents were still warm. It was a mash of cooked vulo and rice.

Sa-Tarna
Most commonly yellow grain that is a staple of Gor; it is used to make bread as well as brewing paga. Note that it is said a darker form of it is grown in the Tahari desert.

Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste, and the staple crop was a yellow grain called Sa-Tarna, or Life-Daughter.
---Tarnsman of Gor, p 43

A great amount of farming, or perhaps one should speak of gardening, is done at the oasis, but little of this is exported. At the oasis, will be grown a hybrid, brownish Sa-Tarna, adapted to the heat of the desert; most Sa-Tarna is yellow...

Yellow Gorean bread (Sa-Tarna bread)
Yellow Gorean bread made from Sa-Tarna grain. It is baked in round loaves and is a staple of most Gorean meals.

I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot
---Outlaw of Gor, p 76

Black bread
Presumably made of Sa-Tarna grain even though the actual bread is described as black rather than the habitual yellow Sa-Tarna loaf..

The great merchant galleys of Port Kar, and Cos, and Tyros, and other maritime powers, utilized thousands of such miserable wretches, fed on brews of peas and black bread, chained in the rowing holds, under the whips of slave masters, their lives measured by feedings and beatings and the labor of the oar.
---Hunters of Gor, p 13
