About Cereals, corn grits, white, regular and quick, enriched, dry
Dry white corn grits are ground hominy, finely milled and enriched with B vitamins to replace what processing removes. Before cooking, the dry form is almost pure starch with minimal fat and modest fiber. The texture after cooking is the whole point - silky, smooth, and neutral enough to carry butter, cheese, shrimp, or just salt. A Southern staple by tradition, grits have found their way into upscale restaurant menus and everyday kitchens alike. Nutritionally they're a blank slate, and they're better understood as a vehicle for other flavors than as a nutrition-forward food.
