The history of rice in the U.S. started in 1694 when a ship bound for England was forced into Charleston, SC for repairs. The Captain gave the governor of the colony a handful of rough rice grains. From this small amount of seed, Charleston was soon supplying all the colonies with high quality Carolina rice. Thus, Rice is a symbol of the Southern heritage.

The Charleston Rice Spoon
The Charleston Rice Spoon


The Charleston Rice Spoon has been a tradition in the South since the first settlers arrived in the Lowcountry. This oversized spoon was used in England as a stuffing spoon. Because rice was a major crop in the Lowcountry, Southern planters adapted its use to the serving of rice at the Charleston "two o'clock dinner." Today the rice spoon is a symbol of the Southern heritage.
