About ORIGINAL INSTANT GRITS, ORIGINAL
Food Club Original Instant Grits start with degerminated white corn grits - the germ removed, so the fat that would cause rancidity is gone along with most of the nutrition. B vitamins and iron are added back, and there is a small amount of calcium carbonate and BHA as a preservative. The carb load is high and almost entirely refined, with modest fiber. They cook in minutes with hot water and hit the table as a blank, comforting canvas for butter, cheese, or gravy.
Ingredients
