Coarse Stone Ground Grits

Our Course Stone-Ground Grits are milled fresh in small batches in Wilsonville, Alabama, where we’ve been grinding corn since 2002. They are made from 100% certified organic corn and milled slowly using traditional stone-ground techniques. This coarse grind produces a rustic texture that holds up beautifully in slow-cooked recipes and offers a naturally rich corn flavor.

Flavor Profiles:
Yellow Corn Grits
Yellow grits have a naturally sweet, buttery corn flavor with earthy undertones and a vibrant golden color. Their rich corn taste makes them especially well suited for hearty Southern dishes and savory recipes where the flavor of the corn shines through.

White Corn Grits
White grits have a milder, more delicate corn flavor with a smooth, clean finish. Their subtle taste makes them incredibly versatile and perfect for pairing with bold ingredients like shrimp, cheese, or smoked meats.

Both varieties share the same hearty coarse texture, giving them a rustic, farm-style character that’s ideal for slow-cooked breakfasts, comforting side dishes, and savory baked recipes.

Cooking Tips
• If you want to speed up the cooking time, soak the grits overnight using the same 4:1 ratio of water to grits. When cooked the next morning, the grits will be done in about half the time.
• Add additional water or broth as needed during cooking to maintain the desired consistency.
• Finish with butter, cream, or cheese for extra richness.

Our Milling Process
We use traditional stone-grinding to preserve the whole kernel — including the nutrient-rich germ and flavorful bran.

This slow method produces:
• A coarse, hearty texture
• A rich, natural corn flavor
• Beautiful natural coloring from white or yellow corn
• Superior nutrition and freshness

Each batch is milled in small quantities to ensure consistent quality and flavor.

What makes coarse grits different from other grits?
These grits are the coarsest we make, giving them a bold, hearty texture and robust corn flavor that stands out in slow-cooked or baked recipes.

What is the difference between white and yellow grits?
White grits have a milder, more delicate corn flavor, while yellow grits have a naturally sweeter, slightly richer corn taste. Both varieties cook the same and share the same hearty coarse texture.

Do coarse grits cook the same as fine or medium grits?
They take longer — 45–60 minutes — but soaking overnight with a 4:1 water-to-grits ratio reduces cooking time by roughly half.

Can I use coarse grits in recipes calling for “stone-ground” grits?
Yes — they absorb liquid and flavor the same way, but their coarse texture gives dishes a more rustic, hearty finish.

Do these need to be refrigerated?
Yes. Because they contain the whole corn germ, refrigeration helps keep them fresh and flavorful.

What sizes do these grits come in?
Currently available in 1.25 lb bags.

Are they made with organic corn?
Yes — made with 100% certified organic white or yellow corn, with no additives or preservatives.
