NEW IBERIA, LA - KONRIKO RICE MILL


The Konriko Rice Mill is the oldest operating rice mill in the U.S.  The actual mill looks like a run down metal building from the early 1900's but it's still in operation and produces many products, all made from rice.  They grind the rice, shell the rice and anything else that can be done to rice.  The tour was interesting and the store was filled with more rice products than I knew existed.
