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.

We have always bought instant grits but tried these as they were highly recommended in the grillades recipe we used. They were so flavorful and creamy. They do take longer to cook but are well worth the wait. I highly recommend these grits.

Found this product years ago while visiting Surfside Beach, SC in a grocery store while on vacation. When I returned to NY state was so happy to find it available on Amazon. We have ordered 1 or 2 bags every few months. Best grits we have ever tried. So creamy, and the Shrimp and Grits recipe on the back of the bag is delicious.

So pleased with my purchase of this brand of stone ground grits. It has such a good flavor and texture. It's smooth on the palate and warm in the belly. No GMOs and nothing added for nefarious reasons. Will buy again. Jesus is the way the truth and the life! Shout out for the Lord of Glory!!! 💟

This seems to be a good product. CMK 10/18/2025

These are the best grits I've ever eaten.

I’m trying to perfect my grits, so I decided to start buying different brands other than Quaker Oats. This is the first one I tried. I think my Quaker grits were creamier, but maybe I didn’t cook them long enough or add enough liquid? The flavor was good, though. I’ll try again and let you know how it goes

the best grits i have ever put in my mouth! i am from the south and grew up eating grits but it has been a long time since i had grits that tasted this good
