Heirloom Rice Bowl

What is it?

Carolina Gold heirloom rice anchors this plant-based frozen bowl, joined by red beans, sweet potatoes, kale, tomatoes, toasted garlic, and smoked paprika. The rice cooks up soft and a little creamy, with a mild nuttiness that takes on the seasoning. Red beans add body, while the sweet potatoes bring sweetness and the kale gives the mix some chew and bitterness. Gullah Geechee rice-and-bean traditions shape the approach here, using an heirloom grain instead of standard white or brown rice. Compared with other bowls in the lineup, this one is more centered on grains and legumes than on meat substitutes or sauce.
