Old mill of Guilford Stone Ground Grits

Unbleached grits stone ground from local corn.  No preservatives added.  All product hand packed.  

Stone-ground grits are whole dried corn kernels that have been coarsely ground between the stones of a grist mill. The entire kernel, including the germ, is cranked through the mill, resulting in a coarse meal that is often speckled. These grits have a strong corn flavor and a chewy texture. They are characterized by their coarser texture, which requires a longer cooking time. Stone-ground grits are the most nutrient-dense and high in fiber, and qualify as whole grains because the entire kernel is ground without further processing, leaving the germ and hull as part of the final meal.
