About Cereals, corn grits, white, regular and quick, unenriched, cooked with water, without salt
Grits are a creamy Southern staple made from dried corn ground into coarse meal and then simmered slowly in water or milk until soft and porridge-like. Rooted in the corn cookery of Native Americans, they have become an emblem of Southern breakfast and comfort food across the United States. Traditional stone-ground grits keep more of the corn's germ and flavor, while quick and instant grits are more finely processed and cook in minutes.
Grits made from hominy, corn treated with an alkali, carry a deeper flavor and, thanks to that process, more available niacin. A cooked cup runs about 150 calories with some iron and B vitamins, and it becomes a fuller meal when enriched with butter, cheese, or shrimp, as in the beloved dish shrimp and grits. Serve them soft and hot, since they thicken as they cool. Store dry grits airtight in the pantry, and refrigerate stone-ground versions to protect their natural oils.
