Rice is the most humble yet powerful pillar of food. It sits at the center of the table, simple and steady, yet it carries with it comfort and belonging. On Shabbat, when the pot is opened and the steam rises, the golden color from Savta’s Shabbat Rice Mix makes the rice glow like royalty. Each grain is separate, fluffy, and full of flavor, reminding us that even the simplest food can feel like a celebration.
