Vivian gives beans and rice the credit they deserve as affordable, shelf-stable staples. With Christine at Piggly Wiggly, she explores dried vs. canned beans and rice varieties, learning why together they form complete proteins. She visits Tidewater Grain's rice revival in Oriental, NC, suggesting bean crop rotation. A Bojangles stop inspires her pinto bean, sausage and rice bake.
