About Corn grits, white, regular and quick, enriched, cooked with water, with salt

This entry describes cooked white corn grits made from regular or quick-cooking enriched grits, prepared with water and salt. The cooked cereal is hydrated and soft, with a thick, spoonable texture that can range from fairly smooth to grainy. White refers to the corn used; enriched describes the dry grits’ added nutrients.

It is commonly served as a hot cereal or used as a mild-tasting base for other foods. Cooking time and final thickness vary with the grind and the amount of water used. This specific form is distinct from dry grits and from cooked grits prepared without salt.
