Hominy Grits

Hominy Grits

EverydayDry

Hominy grits are a coarsely ground corn product made from dried hominy—corn kernels treated with an alkaline solution to improve nutrient absorption and create a chewy texture. A staple in Southern U.S. cuisine, they cook into a creamy porridge when simmered with liquid and are often served savory with butter or cheese. This gluten-free grain provides complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, with enhanced niacin bioavailability from the nixtamalization process.
