Grits are a coarsely ground cornmeal, typically made from hominy – corn that has been treated with an alkali. They have a subtly sweet, slightly earthy flavor and a creamy, porridge-like texture when cooked. Available in various grinds, from coarse to fine, grits range in color from white to yellow, depending on the corn used. Often associated with Southern cuisine, grits are a versatile and comforting base for savory or sweet dishes. Look for stone-ground grits for a more robust flavor and texture, ideal for a truly authentic Southern experience.

Store uncooked grits in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, like a pantry, to maintain their quality and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can last for up to a year or longer. Cooked grits should be refrigerated promptly in an airtight container and consumed within 3-4 days. Freezing cooked grits is also an option; portion them into freezer-safe bags or containers and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
