Rice is a staple food of Sierra Leone. Rice is not only a favorite dish of Sierra Leoneans and the Gullah-Geechee, but it is also a part of their history. A dike system for cultivating rice worked well in Africa, and made its way to the southeastern Lowcountry, which enabled colonists to prosper in wealth.
