About QUICK 5-MINUTE GRITS
Quaker Quick 5-Minute Grits are made from degerminated white corn grits with B vitamin fortification, offering a fast-cooking, smooth-textured porridge that has long been a Southern breakfast staple. The flavor is mild and slightly starchy, making them a versatile canvas for butter, cheese, or savory toppings. The 5-minute cooking time is a convenience improvement over stone-ground grits, though the degerming process removes some of the natural germ nutrients that the added vitamins partially replace.
Ingredients
