Middlins are broken, imperfect pieces of rice, also know as rice grits, that are produced during the hulling and polishing of our Carolina Gold Rice. A nod to the Old South, they were originally a poor man’s dish, not suitable for trade or export and found their way into breads and porridges. They have the same smooth texture as polenta or porridge, but are thicker for sopping up gravy and sauces.
