About Grits with avocado oil

Grits with avocado oil is a modern twist on a traditional Southern American dish. Grits, made from ground corn, are a versatile and hearty base often enjoyed at breakfast or as a side dish. This version swaps traditional butter for avocado oil, a heart-healthy fat rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that support cholesterol balance and heart health. Naturally gluten-free, grits provide essential nutrients such as iron, folate, and B vitamins, though their carb content makes portion control important for certain diets. The avocado oil brings a subtle creaminess without the saturated fats typically found in butter. Often paired with savory toppings like vegetables, cheese, or lean proteins, grits with avocado oil blend Southern comfort with mindful eating. Perfect for those seeking a balance of flavor and better-for-you ingredients, this dish bridges tradition with contemporary wellness trends.
