PALMETTO FARMS Stone Ground White Grits, 32 OZ

These are the BEST grits I've ever tried. My husband, who grew up way outside of the Deep South, loves them too. Another reviewer very kindly left us his wife's recipe for them, which I used with grateful thanks (we add a bit of butter and grated orange cheese to ours, with more milk if need be to keep the consistency gloopy). It's not that big of a sack, but you won't be using all that much at a time (1/2 cup of the dried grits makes rather a lot--two people who are very hungry and not eating much else will be happy with it, or it'll serve four people eating other stuff besides the grits; you can refrigerate what's left over and fry it in slices later if you want, but my household never gets that far).If you've never had grits, think of these a bit like polenta. If you've never had polenta either, then think of these a bit like very coarse cornmeal (which grits essentially are). They cook up very slowly (about 20-25 minutes) and have to be baby-sat a bit with stirring or they'll stick something fierce to the pan. But the patient and faithful cook will be rewarded with a smooth, rich flavor of corn and beguiling texture that sits well with anything you care to serve with it--from shrimp to breakfast trimmings. It can be a backdrop in similar fashion to rice and used very nearly identically (in my experience), and corn's versatile enough that it can go either sweet or savory depending on how you fix it and what you serve it with. Make it a porridge with maple syrup or brown sugar and eat it like oatmeal, or top it with fried onions and peppers and some slices of good sausage. Or just put some butter on it and be happy. Grits are incredibly easy to cook as long as you can handle the requirements for babysitting, so they're well worth getting to know if you've not had the pleasure until now. And if all you've known up till now are the ghastly instant sort, these ought to convince you to stay away from that foul stuff from now on.I'm very happy with these and will be buying them from now on. Excellent quality. 100% happy with them and the price I paid for them.

These grits are the best grits I've ever eaten.

I used these to make a copycat recipe of the Flying Biscuit's Creamy Dreamy Grits and I am so in love! They were so creamy, so dreamy . . . just everything I was hoping for! You probably want to add more dairy and liquid than the instructions call for, though. I would buy these again, but I wish they came in smaller packages since I'm the only one in my house who eats grits and I only have them a couple times a year.

Absolutely delicious! I popped them into the freezer as soon as they arrived and had no issues! These are the tastiest and creamiest grits we've ever had!

Good grits but I MISS THE CLOTH BAG!!!!! That makes it an authentic Southern gift. DISAPPOINTED!

Best grits ever. Easy to make and not half as gritty as the cheaper $5 grits. Salt, pepper, and butter 5☆ meal easy. You will eat the whole pot lol. Definately earned a new customer for good!

I like these grits a lot. I have them 3 to 4 times a week. Super yummy with a pat of butter and some plain yogurt or sour cream mixed into them.

Read about these grits a number of years ago and picked some up while on an East Coast trip. They were excellent. Not cheap but worth it because of the special corn used to make them. Once we ran out, I lost the bag and could not remember their name. Out of the blue, I searched on grits online and came up with their name at AMZN. So, happily we got more. We use them to make shrimp and grits or cheese grits 4 or 5 times a year and store them in the freezer. It seems to be good at keeping the flavors in it. I have tried a few other brands and they dont match up. You pay a little more but the taste and creaminess is superior.
