Recipes from Arkansas
The official state grain of Arkansas is rice which they lead the country in production. They also are top producers of chickens in the US. The Arkansas state vegetable, the pink tomato, also doubles as their state fruit, since tomatoes are technically a fruit.
Arkansas, like other southern states, prides themselves on some of their versions of southern specialties. They have a particular type of barbecue sauce, are known for their slightly sweet cornbread, and specialize in fried green tomatoes.
