About Corn grits, yellow, regular and quick, unenriched, dry

This entry describes dry yellow corn grits, in regular or quick-cooking form, without enrichment. They are coarse yellow granules milled from corn, with particle size varying by product. The dry texture is firm and granular, and the flavour is mildly corn-like. “Unenriched” distinguishes this product from grits with nutrients added during processing.

The grits are usually cooked with liquid into a soft, thick cereal, though they can also be used as an ingredient in other foods. Cooking time depends partly on grind and product type. This dry form should not be confused with cooked grits, which contain absorbed water.
