Stone Ground Grits & Corn Meal

When yellow or white corn kernels are coarsely milled, they are called Grits. When the corn is milled into smaller granules, Corn Meal and corn flour are created.

Grits are made from coarsely ground, dried corn. Often referred to as “the first truly American food” grits were first made by Native Americans dating back as far as 1607 when the colonists arrived in Virginia.

Grits have a down home flavor and have been a staple at the Southern breakfast table from the time of our early settlers however grits are not just a breakfast food. Cornmeal grits may be eaten as a side dish, an appetizer or even as a main meal.
