Corn grits, white, regular and quick, enriched, cooked with water, without salt

This entry describes cooked white corn grits made from regular or quick-cooking enriched grits, prepared with water and without salt. Hydration turns the dry granules into a thick, soft cereal, whose smoothness or graininess depends on the grind and cooking. White identifies the corn colour, while enriched refers to additions to the dry product.

It is eaten as a hot cereal or used as a mild base in meals. The cooked texture and thickness vary with the cooking time and water proportion. This form is distinct from salted cooked grits and from the dry enriched product.
