Charleston red rice is arice dish commonly found along the Southeastern coastal regions ofGeorgia andSouth Carolina, known simply asred rice by natives of the region.

This cultural foodway is almost always synonymous with theGullah orGeechee people and heritage that are still prevalent throughout the coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia.^[2] The main component of the dish consists of the cooking of white rice with crushed tomatoes instead of water and small bits ofbacon or smokedpork sausage. Celery, bell peppers, and onions are the traditional vegetables used for seasoning.^[3]
