PALMETTO FARMS Stone Ground White Grits, 32 OZ

I have been trying to find a good gluten free grits since having to change my diet to gluten free foods. Someone recommended this brand. It is really good, and is ground finer than other brands. It is really creamy and I use water. Can’t wait to try the shrimp and grits in the back of the package!

I didn't realize I'd been eating peasant-level grits for most of my life until I was at a fancy-shmancy breakfast place in San Francisco and was amazed by their grits. I grew up on grits and just assumed they were all the same. I was wrong. Expensive? Well, a 32oz bag of grits is not a lifetime supply at this point... but at a couple of years, so for $15 I can be a sport. Takes more time to cook, but the creamyness and taste is worth the wait.

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.

Second time purchasing this product and will definitely purchase again. It’s hard to find 100% GF grits in my town and these are a great find! Textured is perfect after the slow cook, taste is amazing!

They had me at nonGMO. Nice sized bag. I don't mind paying extra for the security. I don't like plastic packaging. But I'm going to pour them into a glass container ASAP.

This grits is really good quality and taste. My go to brand.

You can make a whole bowl of grits with just 1/3 cup of grits. We stick to the 1/3 cup idea with 1 cup of water. We also conserve our grits by using less than 1/3 cup and adding some quinoa flakes and Indian Head stone ground cornmeal. It does not take away from the grits, just makes them tastier and healthier. This product is stone ground and you can't buy a better quality grit for the money. The whole purpose of grits is to incorporate the corn germ into the grit. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE of Quaker. They take out the germ and put in a bunch of additives. That ain't cutt'in it! You don't need to be a Southern Fried Phony to like grits. I am a Pescatarian so that is a vegetarian diet that consumes sustainable fish rather than mammals or chicken with a strong emphasis on vegetarianism. Grits get a bad name. Some people think you have to say, "Ya'll have any grits?" YIKES! Then there was that TV show long ago where the woman would yell, "Eat my Grits!" This kind of stuff has set grits back a long way. But just because you eat grits doesn't mean you have to act like you eat grits... You can act perfectly normal and you can enjoy a terrific healthy breakfast of just grits minus the red eye sauce and slabs of pork and fried eggs. Your arteries will thank you. PALMETTO FARMS Stone Ground Grits are the first and last place you will ever need to get superb grits at a not-too-unreasonable price. The quality is the top of the pyramid... ya'll

Awesome taste
