Professor Torbert's Orange Corn Grits | 2lb bag (32oz)

For those who AREN’T from the southern parts of the US and don’t know such things, grits aren’t all “just grits”. Their texture, flavor, and color vary widely depending on the type of corn they’re made from, how it’s stored before being processed, how it’s ground, and other factors.I’ve known about and used yellow stoneground grits for years, but had never heard of “orange corn” grits until I stumbled on these while searching for my usual brand. Since it wasn’t available then, I decided I’d give these a try. They’re good enough - not the best I’ve ever had, but definitely better than ordinary white grits. The corn they came from may have been “orange” (and IDK about that, never having seen orange corn), but the grits definitely are not. They look just like all the other “yellow” grits I’ve used through the years. But I don’t really care what color they’re called; they cook up well in the microwave (for when I’m in a hurry), have a nice, slightly buttery taste, are “medium” ground (meaning not requiring an overly long cooking time), and make perfect cheese grits (my favorite) as well as a great polenta. They’re NON-GMO - the only kind I’ll buy - and come in an eco-friendly, “cutesy farmer”, resealable package.I’ll probably buy them again at some point (when I can’t find my favorite brand), and would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to try REAL grits at a reasonable price.

Pleasing pale yellow color when cooked (not bright orange). My husband's favorite easy, quick dinner base under garlic prawns with chives and parsley and the like. The only grits I'd ever buy. So good!

I come from a Southern cooking lineage. Grits, greens, fried chicken, yeah. For me, when I'm not feeling up to snuff, ALL I want is a bowl of grits with a pat of butter, some cream, and brown sugar. Which I had yesterday. Torbert's Grits cooked up velvety smooth in the microwave (usually a failure with other brands), and tasted GREAT! I won't claim these grits have magical properties---but I did feel a durn sight better after eating them. And---did I mention they're YUMMY?!

Cool and unique. Halloween grits. They taste like grits should, gritty but smooth out with buttermilk, heavy cream, or cheese. And they are the bomb on a blackened ribeye

I had been on the hunt for Organic or non-GMO grits at stores near me here in CA and I couldn't find any! I took to amazon and I found these grits. I had been looking for white but I ended up with these orange ones. They were delicious. They cooked nicely and tasted amazing. Will definitely order this brand again soon.

Delicious grits.

THESE GRITS ARE SO GREAT, I'M WRITING THE REVIEW ALL IN CAPS!!! Honestly, I haven't a single regret in trying these fabulous grits at all. Smooth, flavorful, and quick to cook, the grits made a pot that tasted exactly like the old Texan grits I've eaten as a child. Most store-bought grits are either too fine or too coarse, but like Goldilocks' perfect bowl of porridge (it utterly should have been grits), this grits were absolutely perfect. Rich in color and more flavorful than the average white corn grits that I use, the grits cooked up within roughly five minutes and perfumed the air with a memorable aroma. Never before had I cooked a bowl of grits so piquant, and never had a grit gone so far to mime those I ate as a child. These grits were so smooth straight from the pot and had a mellow and lightly nutty flavor, so tasty and rich that I didn't need to add enormous dashes of salt. A pat of butter was all it needed to be perfect, and the grits doubled as well to become a cornmeal in which I could make corn bread, corn-pone, and Chinese style corn cakes (with these fellows, my old white grits made them fall apart). Mixing and baking evenly, these grits were perfect all around my kitchen and are now going to be my go-to grit. This product is a game changer, and I don't think I'll be buying anything else. Seriously. They're that fantastic. Yuuuuum!

The grind is too fine to be called grits. They have the consistency of cream of wheat. Also, the locking seal doesn’t work.
