About ORIGINAL INSTANT GRITS, ORIGINAL
Quaker Original Instant Grits are about as stripped-down as this category gets: degerminated white corn grits with salt, a handful of fortifying nutrients, and BHT for freshness. They cook in minutes and deliver a warm, mild corn flavor that takes well to butter, cheese, or eggs. A practical breakfast staple, though the quick-cooking process sacrifices some of the texture and depth you'd get from stone-ground grits.
Ingredients
DEGERMINATED WHITE CORN GRITS, SALT, CALCIUM CARBONATE, REDUCED IRON, NIACINAMIDE*, BHT AND CITRIC ACID (TO PRESERVE FRESHNESS), THIAMIN MONONITRATE*, RIBOFLAVIN*, FOLIC ACID *.
