Stone-Ground Grits

Stone-Ground Grits

EverydayDry

Stone-ground grits are a traditional Southern U.S. staple made from dried corn that's coarsely ground between millstones, preserving the grain's germ and bran layers. This whole-grain preparation results in a hearty texture and robust corn flavor compared to instant varieties, while providing more fiber and nutrients. The grits require longer cooking times (typically 30-45 minutes) to achieve their characteristic creamy yet granular consistency, making them a popular base for savory breakfast dishes and shrimp-and-grits entrees.
