About Yellow grits
Yellow grits are a wholesome, coarsely ground cornmeal derived from dried yellow corn, commonly enjoyed in Southern U.S. cuisine. With Native American origins, grits have become a staple food celebrated for their versatility in both savory and sweet dishes. Nutritionally, yellow grits are a good source of carbohydrates, making them a hearty option for sustained energy. They contain dietary fiber to support digestion and provide modest amounts of essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. While naturally low in fat and cholesterol, the healthfulness of grits can vary depending on preparation—rich additions like butter, cheese, or cream can increase calorie and fat content. Yellow grits are gluten-free, making them a suitable choice for those with gluten sensitivities. Whether served as creamy porridge, baked casseroles, or a side dish, yellow grits continue to be a comforting, nutritious option that brings warmth to many tables.
