In our next stops on this road trip, we go straight to the heart of the Lowcountry to learn about two ancient and storied grains making big waves today: fonio and Carolina Gold rice. At James Island, our host Jade (@JadeofallJades) chats with matriarch in the making, Amethyst Ganaway (@thizzg) of Yolélé, about the so-called seed of the universe, before heading further south to Hardeeville, where she meets with master rice grower, Rollen Chalmers of Rollen’s Raw Grains (@RollensRawGrains). We may be far from home now, but Jade finds herself closer to her roots than ever before…

To learn more about Yolélé’s mission, head to Yolele.com. And to purchase Carolina Gold rice from Rollen himself, head to RollensRawGrains.com.
