Posted by Avid Reader on Tue Feb 4 09:04:49 2025, in response to Re: Oatmeal revisited Photos, posted by Bill Newkirk on Mon Feb 3 16:27:28 2025. What are grits comprised of?What Are Grits? Grits are made from dent corn, which has a softer and starchier kernel than other corn varieties. The mature kernels are processed to remove the outer hull, dried, and then ground into smaller bits. The most basic—and perhaps most common—way to prepare grits is to boil them, then combine them with butter and milk. However, the Southern staple is often "dressed up" with cheeses, spices, sauces, meats, seafoods (shrimp and grits, anyone?), and veggies. Grits vs. Polenta vs. Cream of Wheat If grits are just ground corn kernels, then what the heck is polenta? Well, it's basically Italian grits. The difference is that grits are made from white corn (or hominy), while polenta is made from yellow corn. In a pinch, you can substitute polenta for grits and vice versa—just be aware that polenta has a coarser texture, so your results will be slightly affected. |
