PALMETTO FARMS Stone Ground White Grits, 32 OZ

These are the BEST grits I've ever tried. My husband, who grew up way outside of the Deep South, loves them too. Another reviewer very kindly left us his wife's recipe for them, which I used with grateful thanks (we add a bit of butter and grated orange cheese to ours, with more milk if need be to keep the consistency gloopy). It's not that big of a sack, but you won't be using all that much at a time (1/2 cup of the dried grits makes rather a lot--two people who are very hungry and not eating much else will be happy with it, or it'll serve four people eating other stuff besides the grits; you can refrigerate what's left over and fry it in slices later if you want, but my household never gets that far). If you've never had grits, think of these a bit like polenta. If you've never had polenta either, then think of these a bit like very coarse cornmeal (which grits essentially are). They cook up very slowly (about 20-25 minutes) and have to be baby-sat a bit with stirring or they'll stick something fierce to the pan. But the patient and faithful cook will be rewarded with a smooth, rich flavor of corn and beguiling texture that sits well with anything you care to serve with it--from shrimp to breakfast trimmings. It can be a backdrop in similar fashion to rice and used very nearly identically (in my experience), and corn's versatile enough that it can go either sweet or savory depending on how you fix it and what you serve it with. Make it a porridge with maple syrup or brown sugar and eat it like oatmeal, or top it with fried onions and peppers and some slices of good sausage. Or just put some butter on it and be happy. Grits are incredibly easy to cook as long as you can handle the requirements for babysitting, so they're well worth getting to know if you've not had the pleasure until now. And if all you've known up till now are the ghastly instant sort, these ought to convince you to stay away from that foul stuff from now on. I'm very happy with these and will be buying them from now on. Excellent quality. 100% happy with them and the price I paid for them.

Found this product years ago while visiting Surfside Beach, SC in a grocery store while on vacation. When I returned to NY state was so happy to find it available on Amazon. We have ordered 1 or 2 bags every few months. Best grits we have ever tried. So creamy, and the Shrimp and Grits recipe on the back of the bag is delicious.

These are the best grits I've ever eaten.

These are some great grits! Great quality

You don't have to cook them as long as directions state. I eat shrimp and grits a few times a week, so I've perfected them. I can attest that these are GF and Celiac safe. Make sure you use half beef broth, half milk (or milk substitute like almond milk), extra sharp cheddar, goat cheese crumbles, salt, pepper, garlic, and real unsalted butter. I make it 1:4 with liquid and throw 6 raw shrimp in per 1/4 cup grits (11 large serving). Amaaaaazing!

I’m trying to perfect my grits, so I decided to start buying different brands other than Quaker Oats. This is the first one I tried. I think my Quaker grits were creamier, but maybe I didn’t cook them long enough or add enough liquid? The flavor was good, though. I’ll try again and let you know how it goes

Great grits. Will buy again.

love these grits really tasty
