"Johnny Cake" was first used in South Carolina in 1739. Historians believe the American Indian word "janiken" meant "corn cake". Johnny Cakes were a staple in colonial times from the Caribbean to Newfoundland. Variations of this Legendary "cake" are as diverse as the people who made them. 

Ingredients

Unenriched Cracked Corn

Sea Island Red Peas have a flavor profile that’s rich, earthy, and deeply savory, with a subtle nutty sweetness. When cooked, their texture is tender but slightly firm, offering a pleasant bite that holds up well in stews, soups, and rice dishes. The flavor is often described as robust and hearty, carrying hints of smokiness and a mild, natural sweetness that complements spices without being overpowering. Compared to standard red beans, Sea Island Red Peas have a more pronounced, almost buttery depth, with an earthy undertone that evokes traditional Southern and Caribbean cooking.

They pair beautifully with aromatics like onions, garlic, thyme, and smoked meats, absorbing flavors while maintaining their own distinctive, slightly earthy character. The overall taste experience is comforting, full-bodied, and rich in umami, making them a versatile choice for both simple and complex dishes

Indigo Popcorn

Our Indigo Popcorn begins as tiny, jewel-like kernels of deep indigo blue, each with a rock-hard shell that guards the soft, tender center. Heat transforms them in a dramatic explosion. Trapped moisture turns to steam, building pressure until the kernel bursts open with a satisfying pop, revealing the airy, snow-white flake inside.

But the magic isn’t just visual. Once popped, Indigo Popcorn offers a delicate, slightly nutty sweetness, with a hint of corn’s natural earthiness. Each fluffy bite delivers a satisfying crunch followed by a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it both fun to eat and irresistibly flavorful. Whether enjoyed plain or lightly seasoned, it’s a playful, colorful twist on a classic snack—where the experience is as delightful as the taste.

Our freekeh is made from roasted green spelt, a wholesome grain cherished for centuries in the Middle East and Northeastern Africa. Known for its nutty, smoky flavor and satisfyingly chewy texture, freekeh adds depth and heartiness to salads, pilafs, soups, and grain bowls. Beyond its delicious taste, freekeh is a nutritional powerhouse—rich in dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion, and an excellent source of plant-based protein and essential minerals like magnesium. Its slightly toasted aroma and versatile texture make it a flavorful and nourishing choice for both everyday meals and special culinary creations.

Farro Piccolo, also known as Einkorn, is one of the world’s most ancient and naturally rich forms of wheat, prized for its nutty flavor and satisfying texture. Our Farro Piccolo is semi-pearled, meaning the outer bran layer is partially removed to allow faster cooking times while still retaining much of its wholesome fiber and nutritional value. Each tender, chewy grain offers a warm, subtly sweet, and earthy flavor that makes it a versatile ingredient in both hearty main dishes and simple side dishes. Its ancient heritage and robust flavor profile bring a nutritious and flavorful dimension to soups, salads, grain bowls, risottos, or even served simply on its own.

Carolina Gold Rice gets it’s name from the beautiful golden hue in the field right before harvest. It is known as the grandfather of long grain rice in the Americas. This historic rice has exceptional aroma, flavor and texture. It has a subtle nutty almond and floral aromas and flavors as well as a starch structure that makes it uniquely prized by home cooks and chefs alike.

Our Heirloom Speckled Grits are Stone Ground to perfection to give you a creamy delicious bowl of grits no matter what your preference!

Multiple generations of farmers can’t be wrong. 

Sea Island Blue Grits offer a vibrant, floral aroma and rich taste, showcasing a colorful twist on traditional heirloom corn varieties grown by farmers for generations. Milled in small batches to preserve freshness and superior flavor, these grits provide a unique and flavorful addition to any dish.
Pro Tip: Enhance the color by adding a touch of acid, like lemon or lime juice, for an even brighter hue.

Jimmy Red Grits are a success story for Marsh Hen Mill and for all those who believe in reviving good things from the past that have been forgotten. Greg spent eight years cultivating the almost-extinct variety of kernels on Edisto Island. This mission all started with a few preserved samples from James Islander Ted Chewning. Sean Brock was interested in bringing back the variety to his restaurants and Greg and the family were able to help make that happen. 

The kernels are a warm, pumpkin color in this beautiful heirloom strain. Sturdy and full bodied, Guinea Flint corn makes hearty grits. Professor David Shields of the University of South Carolina has found that this corn crossed the Atlantic twice, once in pre-Colonial days from the South to Africa, where certain qualities selected by growers. When it returned to the South in the 19th century, the single-ear-per-stalk crop could produce up to eight cobs per stalk. These are definitely worth the extra cook time!
