About Quaker quick grits

Quaker Quick Grits are a versatile, coarsely ground corn product rooted in traditional Southern cuisine. Made from 100% hominy—a type of corn treated to remove the outer hull—these grits offer a simple yet hearty base for both savory and sweet dishes. Quick Grits are known for their fast preparation, making them a convenient option for busy mornings or last-minute meals. They are naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, providing a source of energy-rich carbohydrates. While unseasoned grits are modest in sodium, the nutritional profile can vary based on added ingredients like butter, cheese, or cream. High in iron and containing small amounts of B vitamins, grits can contribute to a balanced diet when paired with lean proteins and vegetables. Whether enjoyed as a creamy breakfast bowl or a savory side, Quaker Quick Grits offer a satisfying taste of comfort and tradition.
