About Stone ground grits
Stone Ground Grits are a traditional Southern staple made from finely ground dried corn kernels, often prepared as a creamy porridge. Unlike processed grits, stone ground varieties retain more of the corn’s natural hull and germ, offering enhanced flavor and higher nutritional value. Rich in complex carbohydrates, they provide a steady source of energy and contain small amounts of fiber, vitamins such as B6, and minerals like iron and magnesium. While naturally gluten-free and low in fat, their nutritional profile can vary depending on added ingredients like butter, cheese, or cream. Stone ground grits are versatile and feature prominently in Southern cuisine, pairing well with both sweet and savory toppings. For a healthier preparation, consider cooking them with water or broth and adding vegetables or lean proteins. Enjoyed in moderation, they can be part of a balanced and wholesome diet.
