FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What makes “Super Grits #184” different? | The #184 refers to the grind size—these are finely milled grits, which yield a smoother, creamier texture compared to coarser grits. |
| Are grits the same as cornmeal? | Not exactly—grits are more coarsely ground than cornmeal, but finer than hominy, and are typically used for porridge or thickening rather than baking. |
| How should I flavor or sweeten corn grits? | Corn grits are often cooked with water or milk and flavored with sweeteners like sugar, condensed milk or honey, or spices such as cinnamon or vanilla. In Haitian cuisine, they may be served with milk, fruit, or syrup. |
| Are corn grits gluten-free? | Yes — grits are naturally gluten-free when made from pure corn. However, cross-contamination can occur, so check packaging if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. |
| Can grits be used in savory dishes? | Absolutely — grits can be cooked like polenta, used as a base for stews, or served alongside meats, beans, and sauces. They can also be thickened into porridges or side dishes. |
