Summary

The story of rice is a story of transformation. For host and producer Nina Mukerjee Furstenau, rice can start out in fields in the India of her memories and end up as a magical breakfast cereal, or maybe even the gooey, delightful Rice Krispies treats of our collective childhood memories. In this episode of Canned Peaches, we’ll adventure to an actual rice factory in southern Missouri where rice is “crisped” for all kinds of consumption, and we’ll hear how Nina can be delighted about food even in a very loud, very hot factory. We’ll journey to a Camp Fire Heartland kitchen to make Rice Krispies treats with the kids of the Saturday Club. And we’ll take a trip back in time to learn about the magical transformation made by “food shot from a gun!” All aboard the Magical Food Bus.
