At Palmetto Farms, stone ground grits are made from premium non-GMO corn selected specifically for its flavor profile. The grain is slowly ground in a traditional stone mill so that it retains all of the natural oils found in the germ (heart of the corn). When Palmetto Farms stone ground grits are cooked they are smooth, creamy, delicious, and full of that rich natural flavor. There is no chemical processing, nothing added, and nothing taken away. Real stone ground grits are "speckled" and will always contain small specks of corn bran and tip cap.
