Reviving Jimmy Red Cornmeal: A Success Story of Marsh Hen Mill
Marsh Hen Mill's Jimmy Red Cornmeal is a testament to the success of reviving historic and almost-extinct grains. Greg dedicated eight years to cultivating this unique variety on Edisto Island, starting with preserved kernels from James Islander Ted Chewning. Sean Brock's interest in featuring Jimmy Red Cornmeal in his restaurants played a pivotal role in bringing this nearly forgotten variety back into the culinary spotlight. This collaboration highlights the commitment to preserving and celebrating traditional ingredients.
