Stone Ground Speckled Grits

Our Stone-Ground Speckled 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 white and yellow corn, stone-ground slowly in small batches to retain the natural oils and nutrients of the whole kernel. This blend produces a naturally speckled appearance, a creamy texture, and a flavor that’s richer than standard single-corn grits.

Flavor Profile:
Speckled grits offer a gentle nutty sweetness with hints of buttery corn flavor and a satisfying earthy undertone. The combination of white and yellow corn provides a balanced richness that works beautifully in both savory and sweet applications. These grits complement fresh herbs, roasted vegetables, smoked meats, cheeses, and even sweet breakfast toppings.

Our Milling Process:
We use traditional stone-grinding to preserve the whole kernel — including nutrient-rich germ and flavorful bran. This slow method produces:
• A hearty, coarse texture
• A richer, more complex flavor than degerminated grits
• Naturally speckled cream-and-gold coloring
• Superior nutrition and freshness

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

What makes speckled grits different from white or yellow grits?
Speckled grits are a blend of white and yellow corn, offering a naturally speckled appearance and a flavor that is both subtly sweet and earthy, richer than single-corn grits.

Do speckled grits cook the same as single-corn grits?
Yes — they follow the same 20–25 minute stone-ground cooking method but produce a naturally creamier, more textured dish.

Can I use speckled grits in recipes calling for “stone-ground” or “old-fashioned” grits?
Absolutely. They behave the same during cooking but provide a unique speckled look and a balanced, nuanced flavor.

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

What sizes do speckled grits come in?
Our Stone-Ground Speckled Grits are available in 10 oz, 1.25 lb, 2 lb, and 10 lb bags.

Are they made with organic corn?
Yes — we use only certified organic white and yellow corn, with no additives or preservatives.
