The result is a beautifully speckled texture with bold, layered flavors and a distinctive crimson-and-white appearance that develops naturally during the milling and cooking process.

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

    This slow method produces:
    • A coarse, hearty texture
    • Rich, nutty, and earthy flavor from red corn
    • Naturally vibrant crimson-and-white speckled coloring
    • Superior nutrition and freshness

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

  • What makes crimson & white grits different from other grits?

    Do crimson & white grits cook the same as yellow or white grits?
    Yes — they cook in 20–25 minutes like traditional stone-ground grits but offer a richer, more layered flavor.

    Can I use crimson & white grits in recipes calling for “stone-ground” grits?
    Absolutely. They behave the same during cooking but bring a unique color and flavor profile.

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

    Available in 1.25 lb and 10 lb bags.
