This aromatic long grain rice smells like buttered popcorn when it’s cooking and only gets better once you take a bite. Marsh Hen Mill’s Carolina Gold Rice has a nutty, naturally sweet flavor and a satisfying chew that sets it apart from other rices we’ve tried. Honestly, we’d happily eat it plain. Like all of Marsh Hen Mill’s grains, this heirloom rice is grown, harvested and milled in small batches on Edisto Island in South Carolina. (Their products are always free of GMOs, artificial colors or flavors and preservatives.) These practices preserve farmland and rare grain varietals for the next generation while also delivering the best results: rice that actually tastes like rice. With its sweetness, nutty aroma and long, distinct grains, this is the ideal rice to serve alongside anything from hoppin’ John to a well-spiced dal. With that said, we recommend trying it as-is at least once, with a little pat of butter for good measure.

Long Grain Rice

Net Weight: 1.5 pounds
Place of Origin: Edisto Island, South Carolina

Carolina Gold’s intense, nutty aroma and toothsome texture will stand out in any recipe that calls for long grain rice, such as Rice Salad with Asparagus and Dill and Skillet Shrimp and Sweet Corn Pilaf. It’s flavorful enough to stand up to bold flavors, like those in our Lemon-Garlic Rice with Sausage and Kale. Or, simply serve it plain with a pat of butter and a healthy sprinkle of flaky salt.

Heirloom Grains That Honor Tradition

Marsh Hen Mill founder Greg Johnsman learned his trade from a third-generation miller whose teachings live on in every bag of small-batch, stone-ground grits, rice and cornmeal. Johnsman and his team use traditional farming practices to grow rare heirloom varietals at risk of being lost to time. They then sustainably harvest and mill their crops using old-school techniques and equipment, including one circa-1847 mill.
