Table 6. Median hedonic scores of sensory attributes of the local control varieties and the biofortified varieties with comparisons across study sites.

Country	Variety	Color	Size	Smell	Taste	Texture
Bolivia	Control 1	6.0 (5, 6)^a	6.0 (6, 7)^a	6.0 (5, 7)^a	6.0 (5, 7)^a	6.0 (5, 7)^a
	T2-10	6.0 (5, 6)^a	6.0 (5, 6)^b	6.0 (5, 6)^b	6.0 (5, 6)^a	5.0 (5, 6)^a

Values are presented as median values of individual attributes per rice variety and interquartile ranges (25, 75). Medians per column by attribute with a different superscript letter (a,b) significantly differ using Wilcoxon’s non-parametric z- test (p<0.05).
