About Corn grits, yellow, regular, quick, enriched, cooked with water, with salt

This entry describes cooked yellow corn grits made from regular or quick-cooking enriched grits, prepared with water and salt. The hydrated cereal is soft and thick, with a texture that may be smooth or grainy depending on grind and cooking. Yellow refers to the corn colour; enriched describes nutrients added to the dry grits.

It is commonly served as a hot cereal or used as a mild-tasting base in meals. Cooking time and thickness depend on the product and amount of water. This salted cooked form is distinct from dry yellow grits and from cooked grits made without salt.
