Where To Buy Stone Ground Grits

Grits are a staple dish in the Southern U.S. and it’s easy to see why. Delicious, versatile, and inexpensive, grits are hearty grains that can be cooked quickly and easily. Grits are made from dried corn that is ground into the desired consistency. Colonists were began eating grits in the early 1600’s thanks to the introduction of corn by the Native Americans. Ever since then, grits have become a symbol of southern culture and a mainstay of the diet. Nowadays, many corn products are far different than they were many years ago which has changed the food industry.

Corn producers in America receive subsidies from the government to produce the most corn possible. Due to the high demand, standard corn has been genetically modified to resist environmental threats and grow faster. Unless it is organic or labeled non-GMO, it is accepted that most all standard corn products come from GMO crops, including grits. The mass commercial production of corn has created an unnatural system for growing, but fortunately you can still find wholesome corn products from farms and producers that are doing things the old fashioned way.
