Scarlet Rice - Regeneratively Farmed
$9.95
This Mississippi Delta grown, sustainably family farmed, long grain red rice has high levels of antioxidants & flavonoids along with naturally produced Vitamin E. We are obsessed with the grassy, herbaceous flavor with a malty aroma & a firm, springy chew. Because it's a long rice rather than a medium or short grain rice it holds its texture with distinctive and separate grains of rice. It's like a cross. between basmati and brown rice with all the best parts of both worlds.
ABOUT THE FARMERS
Two Brooks Rice is the product of years of reflection on our food production systems and how those impact our natural world. As a 10th generation farming family, Lawrence, Abbey and Sarah live and farm on the bayou in the most charming of Mississippi’s small towns-- Sumner. Theirs is a farm that lives in harmony with nature, giving back more than it takes. They practice no-till farming, they use no pesticides and they capture rain water and runoff to conserve our water resources. “Years ago, after watching the overwintering waterfowl population explode, and the benefits they give to the land, after watching the eagles roost around, after watching the deer population go up, I started thinking about what I was doing. I started thinking about the soil microbiology and biology. How, by the fact that we had curtailed tillage and allowed waterfowl to do the tillage, we were beginning to rebuild the soil structure with naturally living organisms that enhance the rice plants health, and require far fewer synthetic inputs (to this day I use no insecticides or fungicides).”
