Tradition is what comes to mind when we think of the polenta. Originating in Northern Italy, polenta had a humble beginning, but it is now one of the most famous staples in kitchens around the world.  Made from whole-grain corn and milled fresh, our polenta preserves the full spectrum of natural oils and flavors locked in the kernel, resulting in a richer, more complex taste compared to industrially processed versions. When prepared with care, it develops a silky, almost custard-like consistency that still retains a pleasant beaded texture—tiny, tender grains that give the dish body and character. 

Charleston Gold Brown Rice is a firm textured, long grain, aromatic rice with a nutty, wholesome and grassy flavor.

A staple in Southern U.S. cuisine, traditionally, they were associated with luck and prosperity when eaten on New Year’s Day. Culinarily, black-eyed peas are prized for their creamy texture and earthy, nutty flavor that absorbs seasonings beautifully. They form the base of many classic dishes, from Hoppin’ John, to stews and salads across the Southern and coastal United States. Over centuries, their flavor profile has become intertwined with the smoky, savory, and spicy notes of Southern cooking, reflecting a fusion of African, European, and Native American influences.

The kernels of guinea flint corn are a warm, pumpkin color in this beautiful heirloom strain. Sturdy and full bodied, Guinea Flint corn makes a hearty cornmeal.

When it returned to the South in the 19th century, the single-ear-per-stalk crop could produce up to eight cobs per stalk. We are extremely happy to be able to offer it to you.
