What are grits made of? I've never seen them in 40 years but hear about them
Hominy. It's corn treated with lye, "nixtamalized" so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.
Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.
Grits can be white or yellow corn.
