Arkansas recipes: Best of the Best State Cookbook Series

Best of the Best State Cookbook Series

The next state that I want to share for my “50 States Cookbook Series,” is Arkansas. The chief crop, as well as the state food of Arkansas, is rice. In fact, they grow over 10 million pounds each year and are the #1 producer of rice in America.

Turkey, catfish, and eggs are also high on the production list. Add to that the regional crops of superior grapes, huge watermelons, sweet strawberries, and pink tomatoes, and it is easy to see how such a variety of recipes have been created around these abundant crops.
