Grits, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Grits are a traditional Southern U.S. dish made from coarsely ground corn (hominy) that's boiled into a creamy, porridge-like consistency. This gluten-free staple provides sustained energy through complex carbohydrates but retains minimal fiber unless prepared with whole-grain varieties. Often served savory with butter, cheese, or shrimp, cooked grits have a neutral base that readily absorbs flavors while maintaining a distinctive grainy texture that distinguishes them from finer-textured polenta.
