About Southern style grits

Southern Style Grits are a classic dish rooted in Southern U.S. cuisine, made from coarsely ground dried corn, traditionally cooked with water or milk to create a creamy, hearty texture. This humble dish is often enjoyed as a breakfast staple or as a side, served plain or enhanced with butter, cheese, or spices. Naturally gluten-free and low in fat, grits are a good source of energy, providing carbohydrates and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. However, their nutritional profile can vary significantly depending on preparation. Adding butter, cheese, or gravy can increase calorie and fat content, so balance is key. Rich in Southern heritage, grits embody comfort food at its best—versatile, satisfying, and steeped in tradition.
