Carolina Gold Rice, 2 lb
Restored heirloom Carolina Gold long-grain.
How this rice is made — and by whom.
Cold-milled heirloom Carolina grains — Sea Island red peas, Carolina Gold rice, James Beard cornmeal. Restores 19th-century cultivars on contract with regional farmers.
South Carolina — the country around Columbia, where the soil, weather, and water shape what comes out of the ground. This product can only taste the way it does because it's from here, and nowhere else.
Heritage grain grown on family fields, stone-milled at the village mill — the same one that's ground flour for the bakery on the corner for a century.
Threshed in late summer; new-crop flour is most fragrant August through October.
Restored from antebellum seedstock. A fragrant, slightly nutty long-grain rice. The historical rice of the American South.
