## Overview

Food Merchants Organic Polenta is a USDA-certified organic, gluten- and wheat-free pre-cooked polenta that offers a quick, versatile alternative to traditional carbs. Rooted in northern Italy’s culinary tradition, it’s perfect for pairing with rich sauces or enjoying as a creative breakfast option. Ready to heat and serve, it eliminates the tedious traditional cooking process while delivering authentic flavor and clean, fat-free nutrition.

## Description

Organic, fat free, wheat free, gluten free, pre-cooked. Ready to heat & serve. In Italy, Polenta is a versatile alternative to pasta, bread, or rice, and is especially suited for meat dishes that have plenty of sauce. In northern Italy, it's as popular as pasta in the south. Traditionally the first cooking step required stirring for 4-45 minutes in a copper kettle over a hot fire. Pre-cooked Polenta eliminates this tedious chore, while preserving Polenta's ancient Italian heritage. There may be some water separation, but this is normal. Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI).

Review: Delicious!! - I'm happy to see this on desertcart! I'm on a gluten-free diet and like to change things up for breakfast. I slice this into very thin slices and fry it up in some coconut oil or ghee, drizzle with some pure maple syrup and top with berries. Delicious!! If I'm in a rush I just cut a 1 1/2" slice, put it in a bowl with 1 tsp of ghee, and microwave it, stirring every 30 seconds, until it is a porridge-type consistency, and drizzle syrup on top and whatever else I think will be good. I also like it fried in thin slices, topped with sausage and peppers. If you don't cook it all the way through, it will retain the rubbery texture, which is why I make very thin slices, or microwave and stir repeatedly.
Review: convenient, delicious, versatile - love the convenience of this polenta. slice, warm in the microwave or fry in small amount of butter/olive oil or fat of your choice. good with stew, chili, chicken, roast, etc. great with pasta sauce and cheese, delicious for breakfast with maple syrup (my dad's favorite) or fried seasoned with salt and pepper, and sprinkling of parmesan/romano. like another reviewer commented, it doesn't have alot of water in the packaging.
