🌾 South Carolina Once Had Its Own “Rice Empire” That Fed the World

In the 1700s and early 1800s, South Carolina was known as “The Rice Kingdom.” The lowcountry’s tidal rivers made it the largest rice producer in the Western world, exporting more rice than any other region on Earth. The wealth from this crop built Charleston’s grand estates and even influenced global cuisine.

➡️ The prized “Carolina Gold” rice variety nearly vanished after the Civil War but has been revived by modern farmers—and chefs now treat it like a luxury ingredient.
