Stone Ground Dirty Grits

$14.95

A mix of our blue and yellow grits that combines the deep, nutty flavor of our blue corn grits with the sweet, classic flavor of our yellow grits. Prepared in the same manner as our classic grits recipe, this product puts a new spin on some old favorites.

We have been grinding organic corn into delicious, stone-ground grits for over 20 years. In all that time, we have always wondered what to do with the grits the mill produces when we switch from blue corn to yellow corn. We get a mix of blue and yellow grits that don’t really have a home, and we hated to see these delicious grits go unenjoyed by our customers.

These “Dirty Grits” combine the deep, nutty flavor of our blue corn grits with the sweet, familiar flavor of our yellow grits. They might be our new favorite.

Available in 2-pound bags only.

  • Our Stone-Ground Dirty Grits are milled fresh in small batches in Wilsonville, Alabama, where we’ve been grinding corn since 2002. They are a natural blend created during the transition between milling organic blue corn and organic yellow corn. Instead of letting this unique combination go unused, we decided to share it — and it has quickly become a customer and staff favorite.

    Ground using the same stone-milled process as our traditional grits, they retain the germ and bran, giving them the hearty, creamy texture people love in our products.

    Flavor Profile:
    Dirty grits have a bold, earthy corn flavor created by blending blue and yellow corn. The blue corn adds a deeper, slightly nutty richness, while the yellow corn contributes a natural sweetness and buttery corn taste. Together they create a complex, hearty flavor with a distinctive speckled appearance—perfect for savory dishes, shrimp & grits, or rich, cheesy grits.

    Available Size:
    • 2 lb bag

  • Ingredients:
    • Organic blue corn
    • Organic yellow corn

    This natural blend comes straight from the transition of milling one organic corn variety to the other, without additives or preservatives. Each batch is stone-ground slowly to preserve flavor, texture, and nutritional value.

    Our Milling Process
    For over 20 years, we’ve milled organic corn the traditional way. Dirty Grits come from the natural overlap during the switch between milling blue corn and yellow corn. Instead of discarding this blend, we package it as-is — a genuine product of our mill’s daily work.

    Our stone-ground method preserves:
    • A superior, hearty texture
    • Deep, authentic corn flavor
    • Nutrients found in the germ and bran

    Each batch is milled in small quantities to ensure excellent freshness and consistency.

  • What gives Dirty Grits their color?
    They are a natural mix of blue and yellow corn grits produced during the transition from milling one grain to the other.

    Do they taste different from classic yellow grits?
    Yes — they have deeper, nuttier notes from the blue corn blended with the sweetness of yellow corn.

    Do Dirty Grits cook the same as regular stone-ground grits?
    Yes, they follow the exact same preparation method as our classic stone-ground grits.

    What size are Dirty Grits available in?
    Dirty Grits are offered in 2-pound bags only.
