Product is not non-gmo

To my knowledge it is made in Africa and probably not GMO, but I don't honestly know. It is tasty, however.

What is the expiry date of the 2kg packages?

Every package depends on when it was packed and sealed, the Seller should answer this for you

NO. It is nothing like grits. It is extremely smooth-textured, not grainy at all. Similar to cornstarch, and while that doesn't sound too good, I came to love it while traveling in Africa. It is really easy and fast to cook, and I add raisins, brown sugar, butter and cream!! I know that might be overkill and it isn't really necessary to add all that stuff, but I love those other ingredients too. I definitely recommend trying it, even if you add just a little something, because it is quite bland, but a very good comfort food.
