The invention discloses a breeding method for a nutritive rice variety, and belongs to the technical field of rice breeding. First, with a natural rice variety being a parent, the natural rice variety is high in germ-remaining rate and hybridized with a glutinous rice variety to obtain F1-generation seeds; F1 selfing is performed; in F2-F3 generation plants, the rice plants generating soft rice are selected, wherein the germ-remaining rate of the rice plants is over 80%; in F4 generation strains, the strains with a high yield are selected; in F5-F6, systematic breeding is performed, and excellent strains generating soft rice are selected, wherein the germ-remaining rate of excellent strains is over 80%; in F7 generation, the fixed strain of natural nutritive rice is obtained. Two excellent characteristics of germ remaining and soft rice are combined, and the nutritive rice variety has the high germ-remaining rate, tastes good and has various rich functional components naturally given by large germs.
