About ORIGINAL INSTANT GRITS, ORIGINAL
Quaker Original Instant Grits are degerminated white corn grits enriched with iron, niacin, and B vitamins, with BHT and citric acid added to preserve freshness. The format is instant, meaning the grits dissolve and thicken quickly in hot water without the longer cook time of stone-ground varieties. The flavor is mild and neutral, making them a versatile base that takes well to butter, cheese, or savory additions. A comforting Southern-style staple that is economical and quick, even if the instant process sacrifices some of the texture complexity of traditional grits.
