Rice is an ingredient that is used all over the world in a million ways and each has its own story. In this episode we explore just a few of those stories. 

Glen Lee tells us about what it was like growing up in Hawaii and shares a creative use for rice bags. Find California-grown rice here: https://www.sohnreyfamilyfoods.com/collections/rice 

Gail Kloosterman and I explore wild rice as a plant, foraged food source and ingredient. Check out https://www.foragersharvest.com/ to purchase wild rice from the Great Lakes (restocked after their Autumn harvest).

We also include a delicious rice recipe from Dora Charles' Savannah Kitchen. Find "A Real Southern Cook" here: https://www.abebooks.com/Real-Southern-Cook-Savannah-Kitchen-Charles/31308904701/bd
